JTM Electrical & Technology Wins $1.6M Contract for Global Online Retailer

JTM Electrical & Technology has been awarded a $1.6 million electrical contract for a new 138,000-square-foot distribution center in Indianapolis, Ind., less than six months after delivering electrical services for a nearly $3 million distribution facility in the western suburbs of Chicago.

The project includes the installation of new 2,500 amps electrical service and infrastructure to power multiple robotic charging stations and a large conveyance system at the customer site. The team also will deliver electrical services for LED lighting and lighting controls, and a generator for life safety systems and network backup power source.

In addition, JTM will provide design and build services for the facility’s fire alarm system.

“We are excited for another opportunity to power a next-generation distribution facility with 24/7 robotic technology,” said President Jack McGuinn. “These high-tech facilities require incredible electrical prowess and focus.  Our general contractor partner has the full confidence our electrical and technology teams will deliver the resources, expertise and management to successfully carry out critical infrastructure projects.”

JTM’s Electrical & Fire Alarm Combo- Save Time and Hassle!

General contractors and property owners are taking advantage of JTM’s turnkey fire alarm design-build solution.  

A year ago, JTM rolled out a new fire alarm systems and installation division in response to the needs of our largest general contractor customers. While they trusted JTM for on time and on budget electrical work, they lost valuable time and money outsourcing the fire alarm installation scope to another vendor.

Today, JTM not only continues to deliver top notch electrical services for new builds and retrofits, but also the team goes above and beyond replacing and upgrading outdated fire alarm systems. Rather than contracting with two entities – the electrician and the fire alarm company – commercial and industry customers can source everything they need from JTM, which offers one contract and one point of contact for installation, service, and repairs.

A significant value-add to our team, has been Peter Miles, Superintendent of the JTM Fire Alarm division and 30-year veteran of the fire alarm industry. His expertise has saved our customers time and hassle, translating into saved costs.  Miles lends his vast knowledge of fire detection solutions at the start of any construction project, even before a fire alarm permit is issued.  He learns the building codes and local jurisdiction requirements.  Furthermore, he calls the fire marshal or the reviewing agency and asks about specific permit regulations or changes. By the time Miles submits fire alarm design-build specifications per code, his diligent research has paid off. The permit is approved. Meantime, his JTM colleagues are at the construction site installing electrical work and keeping him up to date on the schedule. When the customer is ready to install the fire alarm system, the same JTM electricians who have been installing the conduit raceways for the entire building can also install the wiring / cabling for the fire alarm detection / notification system. The transition is seamless.

With JTM’s one stop shop for electrical and fire alarm system, customers are not held hostage to the schedule of a third-party plan review agency or delayed by a permit proposal change or resubmittal.  Services are controlled in house and executed on time for general contractors, property owners and facility managers.

To lead the new division, JTM has tapped Peter Miles, a 30-year veteran of the fire alarm industry, as the Superintendent.

“JTM has provided the electrical conduit for alarm systems for a dozen years. Now, with the addition of fire alarm systems, installation and service, we’re a one-stop shop for general contractors, property owners and facility managers,” said JTM President Jack McGuinn “We make it easier, faster and more cost-effective for them to get their fire alarm system up and running.”

Rather than contracting with two entities – the electrician and the fire alarm company – commercial and industry customers can source everything they need from JTM, which offers one contract and one point of contact for installation, service and repairs.

JTM’s Fire Alarm Division delivers a range of services, including:
• Fire alarm systems from most manufacturers
• Design and build
• Installation (wiring, programming and electrical conduit)
• Service and repairs on systems from most manufacturers
• Municipal building code deficiency repairs
• Annual fire alarm tests and inspections
• Elevator hoistway modernization for electric and fire alarms

“We’ve seen a need in the marketplace for a turnkey fire alarm solution for some time,” said Dale Gosch, General Manager of JTM. “We’re excited to be able to fill the gap with an end-to-end solution and organization – both built under the guidance and leadership of our new superintendent, Peter Miles. He brings decades of fire alarm expertise to JTM and our customers.”

Miles comes to JTM after two decades running a successful fire alarm contracting company. He began his career in fire and security alarm installations in 1988 and joined the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) in 1993. He received an “A” card for a journeyman wireman after a five-year apprenticeship with the IBEW Local 701. Miles spent a few years at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville for a National Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee (NJATC). He also is a certified NJATC IBEW training instructor. Aside from his expertise in fire alarms, Miles has experience in electrical bids, designs and installation. He is also proficient in AutoCAD for local village submittals.

“I’m excited to join JTM and leverage three decades of experience in the industry to help JTM become a single source for fire alarm systems and services,” said Miles. “We’re just getting started and already have additional offers in mind to help our commercial and industrial customers with their fire protection needs.”
