Perma-Fix Environmental Services said Friday it has secured a $7 million contract for cleanup operations at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California.
The award covers “remediation, demolition and waste management services,” according to a press release from the Atlanta-based waste management company. The release did not offer additional details. Perma-Fix referred questions seeking specifics about the work covered by the contract to Lawrence Berkeley, which was still preparing responses at deadline Tuesday for Weapons Complex Morning Briefing.
The lab issued the contract, with funding from the Department of Energy, Perma-Fix spokesman David Waldman said by email Monday.
“We are not expecting any extensions on this contract at this time, but based on the COVID-19 impacts, there may be considerations for extensions in the future,” Waldman wrote.
In December, Perma-Fix and ERRG jointly won a contract worth no less than $15 million for cleanup services at the Department of Energy facility. That 18-month award covered “demolition of some existing structures, remediation of some existing contamination, and construction of some new support underground utilities,” Joe Morgan, project manager for the lab’s Demolition and Deconstruction Group, said at the time.
“This award further increases our funded backlog and bolsters our Services Segment revenues beginning in the second quarter of 2020,” Perma-Fix President and CEO Mark Duff said in a press release. “Perma-Fix was able to leverage our recent experience conducting complex remediation and building demolition in radiological environments. This award reflects the success of our project team to establish a technical and management solution that addresses the unique challenges at LBNL to reduce safety risk while meeting the cost and schedule requirements.”
