Elizabeth Becknell received a Bulldog Award for exemplary work implementing formal AAP and EEO programs for Semper Tek. This endeavor required extensive research and work outside of normal business hours to meet goals and deadlines. Most firms have to hire outside consultants to develop these plans, but she was able to research and compile the information completely in house. We were recently notified that the Office of Federal Contract Compliance (OFCCP) recommended certificate of compliance for Semper Tek. Congratulations to Elizabeth and everyone who was involved!

Jerry Schiffbauer was instrumental in the successful completion of Bldg 229 South Annex, Room 321.  This project was completed in compliance with the ICD 705 requirements and with a user that was constantly present inspecting the ongoing work.  Throughout the project, Jerry’s continuous communication with the Gov’t and the end user prevented small issues from becoming bigger problems inside the highly secure facility. His daily progress notifications enabled the coordination of GOV escorts to keep the work moving forward in multiple locations throughout Bldg 229.
When an issue was recognized during a security review of the construction of the interior walls, Jerry jumped to action to bring all the necessary personnel in to prevent the issue from spiraling out of control and develop a favorable resolution.  His great work supervising the project was recognized by the individuals directly supporting the work and also by several personnel within the User’s Group.  During the pre-final inspection it was stated by one of the main Facility Engineers that “Jerry was great to work with throughout the whole process” and others stated that they hope to work with Jerry again on a future renovation project.

Congratulations Deborah for receiving the Bulldog Award!!! Deborah took initiative and went above and beyond her call-of-duty when she saw our files needed to be cleaned, organized, and packed from our warehouse and office storage. This was much needed and will create a more seamless transition for our move in the next coming weeks. Debi spent many hours in our cold unheated warehouse sitting on the concrete floor going through numerous boxes of hard copy project data as she worked though this project. Thank you and we appreciate all your hard work! 

On Project 2121 Steven not only covered night shift for the project but was also instrumental in resolving conflicts with the CT machines Isocenter and existing structural steel. Steven’s ability to layout the Isocenter of the CT machine from Owner’s provided shop drawings onto the existing floor slab and in the pharmacy below to illustrate the conflict with existing structural steel, new structural steel and electrical raceways was instrumental in illustrating the conflict to our client.
Steven also took the lead on installing the STARC panels for ICRA containment for the active pharmacy area. Steven has continued to “volunteer” to cover nights, days or weekend shifts for the active projects in Murfreesboro VAMC.
We would like to thank Steven for his dedication and positive attitude in stepping up to cover our jobsites, his proactive problem solving contributions and his understanding of the importance of ICRA containment.
