Big-D Construction Awarded ABC`s STEP Award

SALT LAKE CITY--(Business Wire)--
Big-D Construction was recently awarded the National Associated Builders and
Contractors` Safety Training and Evaluation Process (STEP) Award. The firm
achieved the Platinum level of the award, which is the highest level attainable.

"Our goal is to provide a safer work place for our associates and families;
safer than anyone in our industry," stated Forrest McNabb, Sr. Vice President of
Operations for Big-D Construction. "This acknowledgement is positive feedback of
our goal."

According to ABC, the STEP program was created in 1989 by the ABC National
Environment, Health & Safety Committee to recognize ABC member companies with
exceptional safety records. There are four levels of achievement in the STEP
program: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. The award is the industry`s only
safety program which is nationally recognized by the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA), the main federal agency charged with the
enforcement of safety and health legislation.

"ABC is happy to recognize Big-D, for once again, reaching the Platinum status
in our Nationally Recognized Safety Program STEP. Platinum STEP consists of
approximately the top 1% of contractors nationwide. Big-D and other ABC Utah
members continue to lead the way in improving jobsite safety in our industry,
and I look forward to presenting them with this same remarkable recognition
AGAIN next year," said Ken Shulsen, President/CEO of ABC Utah.

Big-D has received the STEP award every year since 2003, achieving Silver in
2003; Gold in 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008; and Platinum in 2006 and 2009.

In the past 12 months, Big-D`s associates have worked more than 1,500,000 man
hours constructing their customer`s projects.
