About this file

This is a project manual and specifications document for the Collin College McKinney Campus Main Building Switchboard Replacement Project, prepared by RWB Consulting Engineers and IN2 Architecture for Collin College in McKinney, Texas. The project involves the complete replacement of the main service switchboard system at the McKinney Campus, including demolition of existing electrical infrastructure, installation of new switchboards, panelboards, circuit breakers, distribution transformers, grounding and bonding systems, raceways, and associated electrical equipment and cabling. The work must be coordinated with the ongoing operation of the facility, which houses the main server room that requires uninterrupted power at all times; construction activities must not interrupt existing utilities while school is in session, and the contractor must maintain safe access and egress from existing buildings throughout the project. The specifications reference the 2024 International Building Code, 2024 International Fire Code, 2024 International Energy Conservation Code, 2023 National Electric Code, and applicable ASTM and NFPA standards. The contract includes a contingency allowance of $100,000.00 for unforeseen conditions, and Alternate No. 1 provides an option to add costs for tracing and identifying all building branch circuits and feeders, updating panel schedules, and retorquing circuit and feeder terminations.

The contractor is responsible for furnishing all labor, materials, services, equipment, and appliances required for project completion and must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage on a 100 percent basis until project acceptance by the Owner. Progress payments are made monthly with retainage in accordance with AIA Documents G702 and G703, and the contractor must submit lien waivers and bills paid affidavits from all subcontractors and material suppliers with each application for payment. The contractor shall secure all necessary permits and licenses and comply with all applicable federal, state, county, and municipal laws and regulations at no additional expense to the Owner. Construction must proceed in phases to accommodate partial Owner occupancy and minimize disruption to school operations, with specific coordination procedures for scheduling, submittals, and meetings established through the project manual. The contract requires submission of a construction progress schedule within 15 days of notice to proceed, a pre-construction meeting within 15 days thereafter, and monthly progress meetings throughout the contract duration to ensure coordination of all trades and timely completion of work.
