Moss & Associates Receives Sunshine State Safety Awards for Public and Private-Sector Projects

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Moss & Associates, one of Florida`s largest construction management companies,
recently received Florida Sunshine State Safety Recognition Awards for two
projects: the Soho Beach House resort in Miami Beach, and the new U.S. Customs
and Immigration Service (USCIS) field office in West Palm Beach.

Known for its industry-leading workplace safety programs at public- and
private-sector jobsites, Moss has received nine Sunshine State Safety awards
from the University of South Florida`s (USF`s) Safety Consultation Program since
last July. Other Moss projects recognized with the awards were Mint and The Ivy,
two luxury Miami condominiums; the Marion County Emergency Operations Center
(EOC) in Ocala; the University of Miami`s Biomedical Research Building and
Parking Garage/Central Energy Plant in Miami; and new Publix supermarkets in
Miami and Hialeah.

"We focus on improving safety practices at every project statewide, making sure
our subcontractors become very involved in the educational process," said Brian
Trusky, Moss vice president - loss prevention. Moss & Associates is also using
innovative techniques like "data mining" to analyze accident patterns; and
deploying automated external defibrillators (AEDs) on each of its job sites,
accelerating a life-saving response in the event of a cardiac arrest.

Since USF launched the Florida Sunshine State Safety Recognition Awards program
in 2006, Moss has received more awards than any Florida-based construction
services firm. "Moss` company-wide clarity about safe work practices translates
into meeting schedules, boosting morale, establishing higher levels of
expectation for the safety performance of subs, and delivering projects on time
and on budget," said Charlene D. Vespi, program director, USF Safety
Consultation Program. Only about 5 percent of all companies or projects that
participate in the USF program receive this award.

"Based on the company`s awards and its investment in safety education with
subcontractors, we are pleased to consider Moss & Associates our leading partner
in construction management safety in the state of Florida," added Vespi.

In addition to the Sunshine State safety awards, Moss has been recognized twice
by the federal Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) through its
Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP), in 2006-07 and for
2007-09. In addition, Liberty Mutual Insurance Group has presented Moss with
seven Gold Safety Awards - six for specific jobsites, and one for overall
program excellence. The insurer presents the Gold Safety Award to less than 1
percent of its contracting customers nationwide.

Moss & Associates is a privately held construction company that is ranked among
the nation`s top 100 building contractors and fourth largest in Florida, with
annual revenues exceeding $650 million. From its headquarters in Fort Lauderdale
and regional offices in Miami, Tampa and Ocala, the firm provides design-build,
general construction, construction management and preconstruction services for
commercial, residential and institutional facilities developed throughout the
