The incumbent management and operations contractor and the vendor in charge of liquid waste at the Energy Department’s Savannah River Site in South Carolina both received at least 90 percent of their potential fee in new performance evaluations.
Fluor-led site prime Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS) and AECOM-led Savannah River Remediation both received “excellent” overall marks in scorecards released by DOE last week.
Savannah River Nuclear Solutions took home more than $22.5 million, or 92 percent of an available $24.4 million in fee for the period from Oct. 1 2017, through July 31, 2018.
Comprised of Fluor, Stoller Newport News Nuclear, and Honeywell International, SRNS received a one-year extension last summer as its original $9.5 billion contract was running out. The extension keeps SNRS on the job through July 2019 while DOE seeks a successor. The agency’s latest procurement schedule, issued in November, does not cite a target date for issuing a request for proposals for the SRS operations contract.
Savannah River Remediation (SRR) took home more than $12.5 million, or 95 percent of about $13.2 million in potential fee for the period between Jan. 1 2018, and May 31, 2018, for storage, treatment, and disposal of radioactive liquid waste at SRS.
The SRR team, comprised of AECOM, Bechtel, Jacobs subsidiary CH2M, and BWX Technologies, saw its original 10-year, $5 billion contract expire at the end of 2017. The vendor team has received two extensions, with the latest scheduled to run through March of this year.
The Energy Department in October 2017 awarded Savannah River EcoManagemnt, comprised of BWXT, Bechtel, and Honeywell, a new 10-year, $4.7 billion liquid waste contract. But an AECOM-CH2M team won a bid protest before the Government Accountability Office in February of last year. The Energy Department had those two teams, and a Fluor-Westinghouse bidder, submit updated proposals in the spring. It has not yet re-awarded the contract.
