Coordination of Owner Supplied Equipment Integrator: CMGC will coordinate owners supplied integrator scope into the project.   (See attached Integrator Scope Estimate and Budget Estimate by Sean D. McFarland, Engineering) The University Supplied Integrator Broadcast Equipment Budget is estimated to be about $ 8,000,000.  This equipment is already being selected and designed by the university’s design team in conjunction with the university’s design consultant, Sean E. McFarland, Engineering.  The broadcast equipment package including desks, etc. will be sourced by one of 3 available integrators from the United States.   The comprehensive integrator scope typically includes coordinating broadcast equipment from all different equipment suppliers, installation, delivery, consolidation, storage, and commissioning the equipment to verify it is working at the end of the project.   Integrator will also provide commissioning and training of their supplied equipment.    Understanding the integrator scope and how it fits into the LNCO Building CMGC remodel is important.   Coordination with this broadcast equipment into the newly remodeled spaces at LNCO will be needed from CMGC.
