Benchmark was contacted by
an electrical producer in the Midwest at the beginning of December and asked to
move 3 Stewart & Stevenson LM 6000 generator kits with accessories that had
to move before December 31. If the equipment was not out of Texas, then
the buyer would be responsible for inventory taxes. The largest piece
weighed 176,000 lbs. Benchmark
arranged a barge to move the turbine, generator and control house out of Texas
before December 31. We also employed approximately 100 trucks to move
the accessories. All equipment was out of Texas by December 31. The
accessories were moved to the site in the Midwest and the turbine, generator and
control house were moved to a staging area on the Ohio River to be delivered when
the site was ready.
