Alabama firm wins Tybee Coast Guard project
The U.S. Coast Guard has awarded a contract for repairs to a multi-purpose building at Station Tybee Island to BES Design/Build, an Alabama firm with offices in South Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Washington, D.C.
The project will include the demolition of existing first- and second-floor finishes, floor and structural framing and sheathing, wall finishes, electrical/telecom cabling, plumbing fixtures and other incidentals. BES D/B will also install new steel joists and concrete floor over a metal deck on the first floor.
All existing floor and wall finishes will be replaced, and all interior wall finishes in the first and second floors will be repainted.
Once completed, the building will serve as the berthing unit headquarters. The men will be housed on the second floor, and the first floor will consist of the offices and the control room.

Averitt recognized as ‘Top Green Supply Chain Partner’
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. — Averitt Express, which has an operation in Savannah, was chosen as a “Green 75 Supply Chain Partner” by Inbound Logistics magazine for the third year in a row.
Inbound Logistics bases its Green Supply Chain Partners list on a company’s involvement in three areas: Participation in public-private partnerships; corporate sustainability initiatives; and collaborative customer-driven projects.
The magazine’s editors solicited more than 200 transportation and logistics companies to complete a questionnaire specifying their investments in sustainability — ranging from fuel-efficient equipment to corporate-sponsored recycling programs and everything in between.
“In our industry, it’s vital that we maintain our focus on environmental stewardship and sustainability,” said Gary Sasser, Averitt’s president and CEO.
Averitt has awarded $90,000 in fuel cards, a Smart Fortwo city car and a Ford F-150 4x4 truck to employees for their environmental friendly ideas.
