QUESTION

ANSWER/CURRENT UNDERSTANDING

Confirm we are proceeding with generator and extension cords (not panel backup) Will cords run directly to equipment or through temporary distribution panels?

When will the generator be delivered and staged?

How long is setup expected to take?

Generator will be used with panel backfeeding, not extension cords. There will only be 5-6 pieces of equipment that are not in a back fed area that will require an extension cord to route to an outlet that is being backfed. This'll be completed by BioGenerator.

Distribution panels, not direct equipment connections. See note from above question.

Friday afternoon, May 15

2.5 Hours with the generator, and enough time for BioGenerator to verify only essential equipment is plugged in.

Is there a sequence and checklist planned?

Yes – includes equipment verification(Biogenerator), access/security planning, and go/no-go decision(Ameren availibility if theres a major weather event) Will tenants need to be Tenants are responsible for shutting down and unplugging all present for access or non-generator-supported equipment prior to leaving Friday afterequipment identificanoon (May 15). BioGenerator may need to verify with tenant staff tion? if something non-essential is still plug in during checklist walkthrough. Tenants will not be needed onsite during the outage.

Confirm building closure during outage

What qualifies as emergency access?

Yes – tenants are responsible for shutting down and unplugging all non-generator-supported equipment prior to leaving Friday (May 15). BioGenerator will be onsite during each outage to ensure equipment restarts appropriately during each cutover(May 16).

Saturday, May 16 (time will be determined by Ameren and when they get on site) Full building shutdown

Potentially, yes. Once non-critical equipment is shut down/unplugged, normal work may not be feasible. Timing is at the discretion of each tenant company. BioGenerator will need a portion of the afternoon to do their verification walkthrough.

Yes – building closed except for authorized personnel. Any tenant activity required over the weekend needs to be requested and approved by the contruction team and building management. For activities like watering, we would like for the tenants to stage the water needed in their spaces, and coordinate a single escorted walkthrough for all tenants at the same aligned time.

Any tenant activity required over the weekend needs to be requested and approved by the contruction team and building management. In the event of an equipment failure/emergency BioGenerator will coordinate the appropriate response with the tenants.
