Southern California Edison (SCE) said this week it expects three bids in January from contractors for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station’s estimated $4.4 billion decommissioning general contract.
SCE spokeswoman Maureen Brown said the company anticipates bids from the following groups: Bechtel and Westinghouse; Team Holtec, a newly established, wholly owned subsidiary of Holtec International; and EnergySolutions and AECOM.
Bids are due Jan. 4, and Southern California Edison expects to award a contract in summer 2016. No bids have been submitted to date, Brown said. The company had originally planned for a mid-October bidding due date, but pushed the date back to January amid contractor team shake-ups.
SONGS began operations in 1968. Unit 1 was retired in 1992 and placed into SAFSTOR. Southern California Edison retired SONGS power plant Units 2 and 3 in 2013 when troubles with replacement steam generators proved too expensive to fix.
