As soon as next week, the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management should issue a draft solicitation for a Decontamination and Decommissioning Contract at the Portsmouth Site in Ohio, the agency said recently.
The draft request for proposals (RFP) should show up sometime between Nov. 17 and Dec. 17, the agency’s nuclear-weapons cleanup office wrote in a post on the Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center website earlier this month.
The current remediation contract for the DOE’s Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant site in Piketon, Ohio is held by Fluor-BWXT Portsmouth. The existing Fluor-BWXT contract, currently valued at $4.4 billion began in March 2011 and extends through March 2023.
Shortly after dropping the draft RFP, DOE will hold a pre-recorded video site tour, but not conduct a virtual or in-person pre-solicitation conference, the agency said.
DOE plans one-on-one sessions within two or three weeks after issuance of the draft RFP, according to the cleanup office.
