Looks like it could be stateplane projection in feet.

Instructions on using ogr2ogr to transform shapefiles here:
http://www.swcp.com/~russo/shape_web/#ogrproj

Read it carefully.

If your shapefiles have a .prj file with them, that might define the 
projection and you wouldn't have to know what the existing 
projection/units are.
