The environmental remediation contractor for the Department of Energy’s West Valley Demonstration Project in upstate New York earned “very good” ratings in all four categories of its latest performance evaluation. That was enough to earn CH2M Hill BWXT West Valley (CHBWV) a $360,000 award fee, 80 percent of the total available $450,694 for the performance period from March 1, 2016, to Aug. 28, 2016.
CH2M Hill BWXT West Valley is tasked with cleanup of the former spent fuel reprocessing site under a nearly nine-year, $525 million contract due to expire on March 9, 2020. Its work includes relocation of solidified high-level waste; deactivation and demolition of facilities at the site; and disposal of lower-level waste, including debris and protective apparel.
The company was graded for safety, health, and quality management; business management; project management; and environmental and regulatory strategy. “The Contractor met the majority of performance goals and objectives for the period,” according to the scorecard, which said CHBWV had neither significant achievements nor significant deficiencies during the nearly six-month stretch.
In the prior evaluation, covering Aug. 29, 2015, to Feb. 29, 2016, CHBWV earned a rating of “excellent” for safety, health, and quality management, and “very good” grades for the other three categories. It took home $250,000, 84 percent of the potential $295,495 award fee.
