The Department of Energy’s nuclear cleanup office expects to extend by up to a year the Deactivation and Remediation contract held by Four Rivers Nuclear Partnership at the Paducah Site in Kentucky.
According to an online procurement notice from late June, DOE’s Office of Environmental Management expects to extend the contract period up to 12 months from June 20, 2027 through June 19, 2028.
DOE’s Portsmouth/Paducah Project Office said in the notice it intended to issue a noncompetitive or no-bid extension to the existing Four Rivers contract.
“These services [being carried out by Four Rivers] include continued coordination with applicable regulatory agencies to obtain approval on three primary Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act [or Superfund] Records of Decision,” according to the notice.
The deadline was July 25 for any interested parties to comment. There was no online notice found that showed DOE had actually extended the contract’s period yet.
Four Rivers is a joint venture made up of Amentum (by virtue of its merger with Jacobs), Fluor and BWXT. The existing contract started in June 2017 and is valued at roughly $1.9 billion, according to a summary of Environmental Management office contracts.
