Will install solar power systems: Atlantic Contingency Constructors, which was formed by The Shaw Group’s environmental and infrastructure division, has been awarded a $100.7 million contract by the Navy to install solar power systems. The Virginian-Pilot newspaper reported the systems will generate renewable energy at Navy shore facilities in Virginia, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, Maryland and Washington, D.C. Atlantic Contingency is a venture between Shaw and AECOM Government Services of Norfolk, Va. The work should be completed by September 2010.
Making a run at the bench: Jimmy Faircloth, Gov. Bobby Jindal’s executive counsel, will resign July 10 in order to run for a seat on the state Supreme Court, The (Monroe) News Star reports. The move doesn’t come as a surprise; Faircloth announced in April he was leaving the administration after the legislative session ended so he could run for the vacant seat, which takes in northeast and central Louisiana. Faircloth, an attorney from Pineville, will oppose 4th District Judge Marcus Clark.
