Navarro Research and Engineering earned more than 97 percent of its total potential award fee for its work on the Department of Energy’s Nevada Environmental Program Services (EPS) contract in fiscal 2017.
Navarro garnered $835,975 of a potential $857,037 for the period from Oct. 1, 2016, through Sept. 30, 2017, at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS).
Navarro captured 100 percent of its $506,000 incentive fee, according to a recently issued DOE fee scorecard. It also took 94 percent, or $329,975, of its potential $351,037 award fee. The company scored “excellent” in six different award categories: business relations, management of people and subcontracts, cost control, schedule, quality, and health and safety.
It also was roughly within 5 percent of both schedule and performance targets, according to the scorecard.
The EPS contract involves environmental characterization and remediation at the Nevada National Security Site and parts of the Nevada Test and Training Range, including the Tonopah Test Range, along with radioactive waste acceptance services at generator sites across the country. The NNSS is a waste disposal site for approved DOE and Department of Defense generator sites.
Navarro was credited for working with the site’s management contractor to remove more than 18,000 cubic feet of low-level waste and 22 cubic feet of mixed low-level waste, according to the DOE scorecard. “There were no significant or notable deficiencies identified during the rating period,” according to the scorecard.
The Nevada EPS contract is a cost-plus-award-fee contract under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Based in Oak Ridge, Tenn., Navarro provides environmental remediation and decontamination and decommissioning to clients including DOE and its semiautonomous National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).
The Navarro contract was awarded Sept. 25, 2014, and has a potential value of more than $64 million. The contract features a one-year base period and four one-year option periods that run through Jan. 31, 2020. All extensions have been exercised, said DOE spokesperson Lynette Chafin.
