Fort Myer Construction was retained for this “Capacities and Capabilities” contract as part of Pepco’s effort to expand their list of contractors approved to build electrical distribution infrastructure, i.e. conduit ductbanks and manholes, in public spaces. This was essentially an opportunity for Fort Myer to demonstrate our ability to meet and exceed Pepco’s expectations with regard to safety, construction practices and administrative abilities. Successful completion of the project gained Fort Myer a spot on Pepco’s “Approved Contractor” list and provided us the certification necessary to bid on Pepco projects, in particular, upcoming DC PLUG opportunities.

 

Project Significance

Although this probationary program was designed to last for one calendar year, Pepco was so pleased with our progress that Fort Myer was declared “graduated” in October, 2015 – just 6 months after we started the work.
