| NewsBLA Selected for PSMJ's 2009
Bernardin, Lochmueller & Associates, Inc. (BLA) was selected for the prestigious 2009 Circle of Excellence by PSMJ Resources, Inc., a premier management consulting firm for the A/E/C industries. PSMJ chooses Circle of Excellence firms by ranking them according to 13 benchmarks to measure exceptional performance, including project performance and staff utilization. BLA was one of only 44 North American firms selected for the honor and the only Indiana-based firm on the list. The ranking highlights firms that “are well managed, have a strong client base, and are led in a responsible and sustainable manner,” said H.E. “Dan” Daniels, PSMJ Survey Editor. “PSMJ believes that clients prefer to work with well-run firms because they are more likely to provide superior service and value.” Keith Lochmueller, BLA’s CEO and Chairman of the Board, said the firm is deeply honored that its work garnered this international recognition. “We put clients’ long-term needs first and run our firm with a long-term vision,” Lochmueller said. “I’m glad this has helped us grow in a sustainable, responsible manner.” City of Washington Praises Common Sense Green Solution Three New LEED Accredited Professionals Added to BLA’s Green Team! |

What Bridges are Teaching Us
About Bats
Long misunderstood, today bats are gaining popularity due in part to their role in controlling pests that harm crops and carry diseases. As development spreads, bats are being pushed out of their traditional roosts and are looking for new homes, like bridges.Click here to see how one such bridge in Southwestern Indiana is unveiling new information about the endangered Indiana bat, which may help stabilize its population and eventually move it off the endangered species list.
Green Approach to Combined Sewer Overflows Saves Streams & Money
Today the US EPA estimates that there are over 770 communities in 31 states and the District of Columbia with combined sewer systems serving 40 million people. These systems discharge around 850 billion gallons of untreated wastes into rivers, streams, lakes, and estuaries each year, polluting waterways with bacteria and other pathogens, toxic chemicals, pesticides, and debris.
