These multiple contracts with the SMUD Generation Operations Department consisted of multidisciplinary engineering support for all of SMUD’s generation projects on an as-needed basis. SMUD’s generation plants include gas-fired plants powered by a variety of turbines, wind plant facilities, hydroelectric facilities, and solar arrays. To ensure responsive engineering services, IEC stayed flexible by subcontracting work to specialty firms and being able to quickly hire qualified engineers and other technical support staff for projects that were not originally anticipated. This cooperative approach is what clearly set IEC apart from other prime contractors and competitors. Work Authorizations: Work Authorizations, in order of assignment, included:
