For Immediate Release Contact: Jamie Edwards (225) 769-3400

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, February 26, 2007, SJB Group, LLC today announced that its Construction Services Division has been selected by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD) to perform Construction Time Analysis services using the Critical Path Method (CPM) of analysis for statewide construction projects. The Retainer Contract, which has a program ceiling of $500,000 and a two-year term, will be performed under separate Task Orders.

As part of the scope of services, SJB Group will employ the CPM technique to construct models of LA DOTD projects that include a list of all activities required, the duration of each activity, and the dependencies between the activities. Using this information, SJB Group will calculate starting and ending times for each activity, determine which activities are critical to the completion of each project and those activities with “float time” or are less critical. This will allow LA DOTD personnel to prioritize activities for the effective management of project completion. SJB Group will also check for plan errors, provide cost estimates, and provide any value engineering or construction proposal concepts related to the design of projects, as well as provide training for LA DOTD’s Project and District personnel in CPM and the use of Primavera software.

SJB Group, LLC provides planning, engineering, land surveying, construction and real estate services, and recreational consulting to commercial, industrial, institutional, and governmental clients throughout the Southeastern region of the United States. The Company, founded in 1953, is headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with offices in Gonzales, Louisiana, and Jackson and Natchez, Mississippi.
