PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Construction Manager McGough Construction has been engaged for this Project to serve as
advisor to DAS and to provide assistance in administrating the Contract for Design between DAS
and the Designer according to separate contract between DAS and Construction Manager. DAS is

Switchgear-Master Controller including potentially retrofitting the existing cabinet for the new
DMC master controller, upgrades to the generator controls, and connections to the Emissions
monitoring system.

1.3.3 Attend design kick-off meeting onsite to discuss desired outcome of the project with the
Owner, Construction Manager, and Owner's maintenance staff.
1.3.4 Use of the State of Iowa's construction management software program for uploading all
documents, submitting and approving pay apps, and construction administration. The
cost for the use of the software is paid by the Owner.
1.3.5 Project Specific Scope:

contracted directly with Cummins. The successful design firm shall coordinate with
Cummins through the design process.

system for the main switchgear for the Fort Dodg-e Correctional Facility. This

exceeded its expected useful life and replacement parts are difficult to procure. Power
must be maintained throughout the project.
1.3.5.3 Maintain the current sequence of operations and control points that are integrated
into the Siemens building automation system with the new system.
