Kentucky-based Swift & Staley has won an $88 million, 22-month contract extension to continue providing infrastructure support services at the Energy Department’s Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Kentucky.
The Energy Department announced the contract extension Thursday, one day before the initial three-year agreement was scheduled to expire. The new deal keeps the contractor on the job through Sept. 30, 2020. The entire five-year contract is worth about $185 million.
The Paducah-based, employee-owned company will continue to provide the environmental cleanup site, once home to uranium enrichment operations, with a variety of services that include maintenance of buildings, upkeep and repair of grounds and parking lots, janitorial services, records management, cybersecurity, quality control, and training.
The company has about 120 employees at the 3,500-acre property in Western Kentucky.
