DOE: Draft Solicitation for Next SRS Cleanup Contract Coming in March

The Energy Department plans to release a draft solicitation for Savannah River liquid cleanup work worth between $1 billion and $3 billion by March 31, a senior DOE procurement official said Wednesday at the 2016 Waste Management Conference.

By the end of the month, “I think you’ll have a draft on your hands,” Jack Surash, deputy assistant secretary for acquisition and project management at DOE’s Office of Environmental Management, said during a panel discussion on procurement and contractor delivery.

The next cost-plus-award-fee contract for Savannah River liquid waste cleanup will follow up an eight-year, $4.1 billion deal held by incumbent Savannah River Remediation. The contract, which was awarded in 2009 and included a pair of concurrent options DOE has exercised, expires on June 30, 2017.

DOE plans to release the final RFP for the Savannah River Site liquid-waste follow-up between May and June, with an award to follow by March 2017, Surash said.
