MAGUIRE GROUP was founded in 1938 and has grown to become a leading  A/E/P and 

construction management firm. With offices throughout the Eastern Seaboard and the 

U.S. Virgin Islands, Maguire provides a full complement of services through its various 

divisions. Maguire Group has a history of successfully completed projects in far‐flung 

parts of the world; we were recently a partner with the Office of Insular Affairs in the 

successful education of its personnel with regard to environmental regulations in key 

territories of the United States such as American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas, 

and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Our Emergency Management Services group and sister firm 

Metric Engineering have had projects throughout Florida, Texas, Louisiana, the  

Caribbean, and South America.  

 

The strategic placement of our offices ensures a local presence with a keen under‐

standing of a given marketplace. But geography is by no means a limiting factor in  

how we approach our  projects. We utilize our powerful wide‐area network to forge 

planners, architects, engineers, environmental scientists, and managers into a  

seamless staff, deploying resources throughout the company to serve your needs  

no matter where your project may be located. 

 

When necessary, we can mobilize work forces worldwide in support of international 

projects so the Project Team benefits from time‐tested local processes, procedures 

and standards in construction. Our international experience confirms that local  

customs, materials, and standards offer the most economic and highest construction 

quality. Global project experience includes design and D‐B, civil‐site engineering,  

environmental and permitting services, infrastructure, marine and port services,

PAST PERFORMANCE Maguire Group has grown throughout our +70-year history as a result of providing high-quality services to all of our clients. We strive to exceed our clients’ expectations and, as a result, have 85-90% rate of repeat work from our clients. Our clients, whether in the public or private sector, appreciate our efforts and often offer thanks and recommendations. Excerpts from letters from a range of clients attest to their satisfaction:

“… If the service the Worcester Fire Department received on this project is indicative of the normal practices of the Maguire Group, I would recommend your organization to anyone when it comes to design a project that the end user would be satisfied with. It was a pleasure to work with you and your staff. Thank you for your understanding of our needs in this very important project to both our department and our community.”

Gerald A. Dio, Worcester Fire Department, Franklin Street Station

“…Since 2006, the Maguire Group has been the lead engineering group for the Town in reviewing The Patriot Place Development… The Maguire Group has provided their expertise to the Board in a professional and experienced manner, and we are pleased to have had the opportunity to work with them on these projects.”

Marc Resnick, Town Planner, Town of Foxborough “I had the recent pleasure of overseeing the Maguire Group’s effort in accomplishing a comprehensive and

challenging design to upgrade one of our large aircraft maintenance hangars into a full scale aircraft paint hangar. Their top-notch engineering staff quickly and thoroughly assessed the deficiencies of the current facility and prepared a package which addressed the extensive mechanical, electrical, civil, fire protection and environmental solutions needed to accomplish the directive.”

Christopher Archer, Environmental Engineer, 305 CES/CECE, McGuire Air Force Base McGuire Air Force Base

We understand the importance of providing high quality design within budget and on schedule. We work very closely with our clients at the outset of a project to agree on scope and confirm that the scope of the project matches the project budget. If there are discrepancies, we resolve them at the start either by modifying the scope and/or budget or by agreeing on a list of “add alternates.” With this last approach our clients have flexibility after receiving bids for construction. Maguire has consistently received high ratings from our military clients. The following is a summary of some of those ratings: CLIENT PROJECT RATING CT National Guard Assistance with In-House Projects Excellent CT National Guard Replace 10 Buildings Above average CT National Guard Bridge Design, East Haven, CT Excellent McGuire AFB Renovate Base Theatre Satisfactory McGuire AFB Renovation & Addition to Building 3011 Satisfactory

A firm's past performance is not only measured by meeting target dates and budgets but it is also measured by the quality of the final product. A number of our recent projects have been locally and nationally recognized. These include: 2010 ACEC Grand Conceptor Award 2010 ACEC Design Award Finalist 2010 Construction Management (MA/RI) (National) Association of America I-195 Relocation / Iway Project I-195 Relocation / Iway Project Prescott St. Pump Station (Massport) Providence, RI Providence, RI Logan Airport, East Boston, MA

In 2010, rainstorms severely tested the Charles River Dam designed by Maguire over 30 years ago, and it held up admirably. It is considered one of the most important facilities in the City of Boston,

draining excess volume out of the Charles River Basin and into Boston Harbor when water levels get too high. The dam was cited in recent news stories by Bill Gode, the director of Flood Control for the State Department of

Conservation & Recreation, as standing up to the demands even after so many years of use.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

Maguire has been providing “sustainable” design since before the term became popular. Maguire’s philosophy toward “sustainable” design is not to look at it as an added feature to a project but as an integrated part. Our designs do not include sustainable features just for the sake of including those features but integrate into our designs features that benefit the environment and the project. By integrating sustainable design features into the design process the cost of these features is controlled through the design itself. Our experience in sustainable design is divided into three categories in this proposal; sustainable design, alternative energy and energy efficiency. While some of these projects are stand alone projects such as the wind turbine projects many of the others are integrated approaches that could fall under any category.

REPRESENTATIVE LIST OF RECENT SUSTAINABLE DESIGN PROJECTS

USPS Manchester Office Relocation, Manchester, NH: The project encompassed ideas of the “green building concepts” and environmental design and construction sustainability. The proposed mechanical systems will utilize geothermal heating and cooling means. The design also reflected the use of renewable, recyclable and environmentally friendly materials, and other methods of reducing energy costs. The design goal was a functional, cost conscious and environmentally friendly building which could achieve a LEED Gold Certification. 17 Gordon Avenue, Providence, RI: The project was a renovation of a historical industrial building in South Providence that was designed to attain LEED Certification. Maguire Group provided the engineering services. The building incorporates many “green” features such as rainwater collection system, vegetative roof, photovoltaic system, high efficiency lighting, and mechanical systems. Roger Williams Park, Botanical Gardens, Providence, RI: Maguire’s design responsibilities include civil and utility engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural and foundation engineering as well as mechanical, electrical, and plumbing/fire protection engineering. The project met all requirements to achieve LEED Silver. Camp Edwards Readiness Center, Bourne, MA: The project achieved the military’s SPiRiT accreditation (the military version of LEED). Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission Headquarters, Harrisburg, PA: Given its environmental focus, the Commission was committed to sustainable design and consequently a number of “green” initiatives were incorporated. The site was sensitively organized to separate automobile and truck traffic, and to minimize impacts on existing trees and wetlands.

Providence College Rainwater Harvesting, Providence, RI: Maguire has worked with Providence College to design and engineer a collection and storage system that saves the college approximately 250,000 gallons of water per month. The water is treated and used for boiler plant make-up water and irrigation during the summer. Over the long term, this system will save the college far more than what has been invested in the system. UNH “EcoLine” Pipeline, Durham, NH : The University of New Hampshire (UNH), in cooperation with Waste Management of New Hampshire, has launched “ECOLine,” a landfill gas project that pipes enriched and purified methane gas from Waste Management’s Rochester landfill to the Durham UNH campus.

REPRESENTATIVE LIST OF ADDITIONAL, RECENT ENERGY EFFICIENCY DESIGN PROJECTS

USPS Brockton P&DC Energy Project, Brockton, MA: Maguire was tasked with confirming and implementing several energy cost-saving measures in an effort to reduce the facilities utility bills. The facility consumes over 6 million kWh per year and 46,000 therms of natural gas per year for annual utility bills over $750,000. Provided updated energy evaluation of the cost saving measures. The updated evaluation included investigating all available utility rebates and credits. Chariho Career Technical Center, Wood River Junction, RI: The project consisted of converting the existing electrical heating system to an oil-fired, hot water heating system. Two oil-fired boilers and a hot water distribution system were installed. Unit ventilations were replaced with self-contained DX style units with HW coils. East Providence Career Technical Center, East Providence, RI: The project consisted of converting the existing electrical heating system to a gas-fired HW system. Two gas-fired HW boilers and a HW distribution system were installed. In addition, new gas piping was extended to a new kitchen. Ponaganset Middle and High Schools, North Scituate, RI: As part of a $46 million dollar project to build a new middle school and renovate an existing high school the town hired an ESCO, ConEd look at energy. As part of this project Maguire worked with ConEd to create highly efficient systems including mechanical and electrical systems such as efficient lighting, lighting controls, daylight harvesting, direct digital controls, energy recovery.

Powers Building Energy Upgrades, Providence, RI: Existing chillers, boilers, motors and drives were replaced with high efficiency and environmentally friendly units and a 70 kW micro-turbine was installed.

Cannon Building Energy Upgrades, Providence, RI: Existing chillers, boilers, motors and drives were replaced with high efficiency and environmentally friendly units. A 350ton absorption chiller / heater and 200 kW co-generation units were installed. Chapin Health Labs Energy Upgrades, Providence, RI: Existing lighting and lighting controls were replaced with high efficiency lighting and occupancy sensors. 120 VAV units were replaced with efficient models and a new energy management system was installed. Naval Station, Demand Side Management Heating Plant Decentralization, Newport, RI: The buildings were supplied with steam for heating and domestic hot water purposes by a central steam plant and an underground distribution system. A total of 57 buildings were included. Due to the age and condition of the central steam plant and distribution system, it was decided to shut this system down and install boilers in each of the buildings. In several cases, new stand-alone boiler buildings had to be constructed to house the new equipment. VA Jamaica Plain Site Improvements, Jamaica Plain, MA: Improvements of over 3 acres of parking for the VA campus located in Jamaica Plain. The project included the design of improvements to lighting. The LED lighting allowed a far greater spacing than that of conventional lighting which not only reduced total wattage but allowed for fewer poles interfering with parking. The final design provided far better illuminance levels and reduced the total wattage of the lighting system from over 6kW to under 2kW. Hanscom Air Force Base Exterior Lighting, Bedford, MA: The first phase of the project was a feasibility study which investigated various LED lighting technologies and calculated simple payback and return on investments for several options. The second phase of the project was the design to replace over 600 exterior light fixtures with energy efficient LED light fixtures. The project is expected to reduce the base exterior lighting consumption from 774,000 kWh per year to 347,000 kWh per year.

by Maguire that brought the existing building into conformance with the Chief of Naval Operations “Quality of Life Design Criteria” (DPL‐93‐001). 

The reconfigured facilities provided berthing for unaccompanied enlisted personnel, grades E1 through E6.  The new suites consisted of two separate rooms, achieving unusual and acclaimed privacy for E1–E4 personnel who are typically assigned two‐man suites.  When E5 or E6 grade personnel are assigned to a typical berthing suite, the two rooms provide a bedroom and a sitting room.  The design provided greater flexibility as the same suite configuration works for all grades of personnel below E7. 

Other improvements included: 

Fire detection and protection systems including radio transmitter. 

Individual telephone and cable TV service to each berthing room. 

Individual berthing suite control of new central air conditioning systems. 

Individual berthing facilities for each suite. 

New common facilities including laundry, library, training room, kitchen, and secured bicycle storage areas. 

Structural upgrade of each building to meet current code requirements for resisting the forces of earthquakes. 

Installation of wet‐pipe sprinkler systems. 

These projects reflected the Navy’s ongoing commitment to provide improved “Quality of Life” standards for their personnel who support the Navy’s mission in the Pacific. Completed in 1994, the project cost $3.0 million. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHOLE HOUSE REPAIRS – BASE HOSPITAL RESIDENCES The $280,000 project included complete repairs and upgrades of the Commanding Officer’s residence, along with the Executive Officer’s residence at the Naval Hospital.   

The renovations, completed in 1992,  involved replacement of all mechanical electrical systems, roof replacement, complete interior refinishing and repair, replacement of all mechanical and electrical systems, roof replacement, complete interior refinishing including new kitchen base and wall cabinets, new counters, and new appliances.  

Typhoons and tornadoes are a constant threat during Guam’s rainy season and, if certain precautions are not taken, they can cause major destruction of infrastructure.  Thus this project included design and replacement of typhoon shutters and associated hardware. 

WEATHERPROOFING ‐ MOTOR CONTROL CENTERS Maguire was asked to design weatherproof enclosures for motor control centers at four locations on Guam. 

 

 

aguire Group was responsible for the numerous tasks accomplished through this complex, mission‐critical base  support  contract with  the U.S. Navy. We provided base‐support design, engineering, and concept  studies  for Navy  forces  in Guam.   As  staffing needs on  this contract varied, Maguire 

developed  a  plan  to  accommodate  the  diverse  professional  and  design  skills.  Our  plan  included  business protocols, QA/QC, and cost‐management.  Maguire Group also conducted an engineering feasibility study that led to our design of a $24.0‐million Ammunition Port Facility for the Navy in Guam.

Under an  Indefinite Quantity Contract  to  the Pacific Division NAVFACENGCOM, Maguire evaluated  the  load‐carrying capacity of the existing Bravo Docks 1, 2, and 3 at the Naval Shipyard in Pearl Harbor.  The shipyard is situated on the southern shore of Oahu. 

The  three  pier  berths were  reportedly  constructed  at  various  times  between  1921  and  1936  and  partially reconstructed  in  late 1965.   The  three structures were constructed of reinforced‐concrete and provided  the Navy with approximately 2,060 feet of berthing length. They are supported by 1,600 reinforced‐concrete piles, 16‐inch square and 16.5‐inch octagonal. 

Based on field inspections, underwater diver surveys and calculations of the existing conditions, limiting values were  established  for  pile  capacity,  deck  loadings,  crane wheel  loadings,  and  estimated  cost  of  repairs.  An additional assignment was tasked to Maguire when the Navy was asked to evaluate the potential for adding a new 135‐ton portal crane for use in transferring heavy storage units from vessels to the pier for storage. 

Deliverables  included  a  report  and  design  analysis  of  the  existing  structures.  The  report  presented  the conditions and  limitations of the structures and the structural modifications needed to provide the new  load conditions  presented  by  the  updated  natural  disaster  criteria,  along  with  the  new  crane  and  storage requirements.

            Design / Engineering Services Army National Guard Maintenance Facility Framingham, Massachusetts Client:  USPFO of Massachusetts  

This  $7.0‐million  26,600‐SF  building was  designed  for  the Massachusetts  Army National Guard.    It will  be utilized as a Maintenance Facility for Army Guard Vehicles assigned to it.  This building will replace an existing maintenance facility in the same location that had become obsolete.  

The structure of the building consists of a structural steel framing system.  The roof is framed with steel trusses and  metal  roof  decking  while  all  exterior  cladding  is  supported  by  non‐load  bearing  concrete  masonry construction.    The  roofs  are  clad with  standing  seam  aluminum  roof  panels,  colored  to match weathered copper.  The overhangs and decorative brackets add to the engine house feel.   The standing seam metal roof was chosen for its durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic value.   

The exterior façades of the building are a blend of exposed concrete, brick and synthetic stone masonry units.  Exposed concrete  is used as a base for the maintenance bay section of the building.   It  is approximately four feet above grade and has a rustic look accomplished by two continuous horizontal reveals.   

The concrete base serves to protect the building on the exterior from vehicle maneuvering.  Brick provides the façades’  field material  and  is  utilized  as  the  back‐drop  for  the  accent materials  and  the  decorative  roof brackets.  Simulated stone masonry units are used as accents and as the material for the bookend bay support sections and the accent panels on the administration section of the building.

Maguire Group teamed with Eastern General Contractors of Springfield, Massachusetts to design‐build a new 7,000‐SF medical suite on the third floor of the existing Groton Naval Base Medical Building B449.  

Preventive Medicine,  Industrial Hygiene and the SARP Departments were  located  in three separate buildings on the Groton Base campus; the buildings were in poor condition and planned for demolition. The project goal was to consolidate all three departments on the third floor of the main Naval Base Medical Building.  

In order  to accommodate  the new  construction,  the existing Surgical Suite was  completely gutted and new classrooms, counseling areas, and offices were designed to house the three departments. Additionally a fitness area was designed for on‐base personnel.  

The major challenge of this project was to construct the new Medical Suite in a fully occupied medical building. Close coordination was required with the contractor and Facilities Department to ensure the Medical Building was kept fully operational during the construction phase.

Term Contract Life Safety and Envelope Studies, Design and Repairs Numerous State Courthouses Southeastern Massachusetts Client: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management (DCAM) 

Under  a  term  contract,  Maguire  Group  was  commissioned  to  study  conditions  at  11  courthouses  in southeastern Massachusetts  from Uxbridge, near Worcester,  to Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard.   Most of these facilities, though used by the state courts, are county‐owned and consequently expenditures on routine maintenance and systems upgrades have often been minimal.   For that reason, the Legislature appropriated $600 million to address facility needs in courthouses statewide.  Maguire’s initial task was to review and document existing conditions with respect to life safety, accessibility, roofing,  and  the  exterior  envelope  at  selected  courthouses.    In  some  cases,  the  scope was  broadened  to encompass  issues  such  as HVAC, hazardous materials  abatement,  and parking. The  studies  identified  code‐related  deficiencies  as  well  as  functional/operational  issues,  remedial  strategies,  and  budget  costs  for improvements at the following courthouses: 

Plymouth Probate and Family Court 

Attleboro District Court 

Fall River Superior Court 

Falmouth District Court 

Uxbridge District Court 

New Bedford Superior Court 

  Fall River District Court 

Taunton Superior Court 

Edgartown District Court 

Wareham District Court 

Barnstable District Court 

 Estimated costs for corrective measures varied widely from about $100,000 to $3,000,000.  Generally, the State elected to proceed with most of the recommendations offered.  Maguire was  also  assigned  responsibility  for  final  design  and  construction  services  on  the  first  four  of  the facilities  listed above.     A  suit  filed by  individuals whose access  to State  court  facilities had been  restricted because of their physical handicaps had a significant  impact on the scope of these design projects.   With the Federal Courts involved, the State had to incorporate accessibility improvements to bring these buildings into compliance with ADA and the requirements of the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board.  Maguire played a key  role working with DCAM  to  identify problem areas and  find plausible  solutions.   The resulting projects had a somewhat different focus than was originally envisioned, but the facilities in question have become accessible to all users and upgraded to make up for years of relative neglect.

 Ala Wai Harbor is located where the Ala Wai Canal meets the Pacific Ocean.  When constructed, Ala Wai Boat Harbor was a “piece of paradise” anchoring one end of Waikiki Beach, beginning Honolulu’s famous Ala Moana Public Park.  The Harbor has a prime location in the heart of Honolulu’s population center and is large enough to allow more and larger vessels to moor there. 

This  publicly  owned marina was  designed  by Maguire’s West  Coast  subsidiary  Koebig &  Koebig.    Ala Wai literally means “pathway of fresh water” and defines the drainage canal that flushes the harbor.  The Harbor includes areas used by the Hawaii Yacht Club, Waikiki Yacht Club, and Royal Hawaiian Ocean Racing Club, as well as the public city‐owned marina where over 2,000 boats could be accommodated in the harbor. 

Maguire’s work  included major  oceanographic  studies  and modeling  of  the  harbor  breakwater,  analysis  of harbor flushing and hydraulics, followed by the complete design of the facilities.   

The dredged material from the work on Ala Wai Harbor was used to create the Aina Moana Park commonly known as Magic  Island.   The man‐made park  sits on a peninsula of  reclaimed  shallow  reef with white  sand beaches, a protected swimming lagoon, wide grassy areas, picnic tables, trails for cycling and inline skating, a rocky breakwater, and beautiful views of Waikiki and Honolulu.    In  later years, Maguire designed all of  the hiking and jogging trails on Magic Island for the city of Honolulu.

Master utility planning 

   The  World‐Africa  project  involves  the  construction  and  development  of  13  new  islands  in  “The  World” development  in Dubai, UAE  covering ~82.6 hectares. Together  these  islands  form  the general  shape of  the continent of Africa. Centralized  infrastructure systems are designed  to provide basic services  to  residents of The World by way of utility plants  located  at  services hubs.    Secure Global  Engineering  (SGE)  retained  the services of Maguire Group to design the water distribution, wastewater collection and irrigation systems. Also, Maguire was part of the team selected to design the wastewater treatment facility (WWTF), which was to be included as a portion of the service island.    Maguire evaluated the water, wastewater and irrigation demands of the development based on the projected land  uses  and  population  estimates.  Potable water will  come  from  the  proposed  desalination  plant  to  be located on the service hub island. The option of a greywater system was reviewed for irrigation purposes and it was determined that treated wastewater could be used for that purpose. Storage tanks were sized throughout the site with a separate storage system for domestic/fire and irrigation. The sprinkler systems will be fed from the storage tanks containing the potable water. A preliminary design was prepared for both the potable water and irrigation systems.   Maguire evaluated various types of sewage collection and treatment systems. Due to the flat terrain and high water  table,  a  vacuum  system was  chosen  to  collect  the wastewater.  Also,  a wastewater  treatment  plant utilizing a membrane bioreactor was chosen due to the area constraints.

Aerobic digesters to reduce sludge 

 The Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands (GVI) awarded its first‐ever design‐build‐operate contract to Veolia Water for the development of a long‐term solution to its wastewater management needs on the islands of St. Thomas and St. Croix.   Maguire Group  is part of the Veolia team for this comprehensive project: $123M, 20‐year  contract  to  design,  construct  and  operate  upgrades  and  expansions  for  two  new  4‐mgd wastewater treatment facilities (WWTF) located in Anguilla on St. Croix and at Red Point on St. Thomas.    The  project  included  the  decommissioning  of  certain  existing  treatment  processes  and  providing  new sequencing  batch  reactor  (SBR)  treatment  facilities.  These  new  facilities  help  the  Territory  meet  the requirements of a Consent Agreement with the EPA concerning ocean discharge.  The treatment plants are capable of nitrogen reduction, and the St Croix plant will have the opportunity  for water reuse.  Biological treatment process alternatives were evaluated, and the SBR technology was the option that  provided  the  lowest  present worth  cost.    Each  of  the  plants  utilize  SBR  as  the  biological  process  for achieving the water quality goals of the Virgin Islands.    Each plant also utilizes aerobic digestion to reduce the volume of sludge that must be disposed.  The digestion process reduces  the volume of volatile solids by 40 percent and enables a significant reduction  in operation cost.
