The Department of Energy expects to sign a small firm, Strata-G, to perform regulatory work on short notice connected with cleanup at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee.
This purchase order is for up to two years and not to exceed $150,000, a DOE spokesperson said Tuesday of the proposed sole source set-aside notice from the agency’s Office of Environmental Management.
“Services will be ordered on an hourly basis, as needed and [the firm] must be available to provide assistance within 24-hour notice” to meet with DOE Environmental Management and its regulators, according to the notice. Knoxville, Tenn.-based Strata-G has much experience and knowledge of the “highly complex projects” on the Oak Ridge National Laboratory site, the DOE said.
Parties seeking to contest the sole-source award must file an interest letter by 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time on April 16 that demonstrates their firm’s ability to provide an equivalent service. The letter should be emailed to contracting official Carol Jennings of DOE at carol.jennings@orem.doe.gov.
A little more than three years ago, Strata-G won a $1-million contract from DOE to drill wells and sample groundwater and surface water as part of research for a new waste landfill at the Oak Ridge Site.
