I don't know about options, but I can tell you about a situation. Back in June we put together a proposal for temporary power for the GC on this project I'm on. My supplier called Milbanks to get a quote on some 480 volt, 3 phase, self contained meter cans. They gave him a price on the last 2 left in their warehouse. His response was, "When y'all gonna make any more?" To make a long story short we wouldn't be able to get any until late August at best. He said, "Hey, how about sending the 2 you have left?" The guy told him, "No problem." The result was we spent $350.00 on 2 meter cans that we weren't sure we would use (the proposal hadn't been accepted at that time). With the owner's back against the wall, the GC finally got them to accept the propsal, and I finally get to use those 2 cans I've been hauling around in my truck for the better part of 3-1/2 months. We got lucky.
All metered out,
Doc
