Oak Ridge cleanup contractor URS-CH2M Oak Ridge, LLC, did well in the second part of Fiscal Year 2012, according to a Department of Energy fee determination released yesterday that shows that UCOR earned about 90 percent of its available award fee. UCOR earned about $3.6 million out of $4 million in available award fee between Feb. 1 and Sept. 30, 2012. “UCOR’s performance has been notable,” DOE Oak Ridge cleanup manager Mark Whitney said in the fee determination letter to UCOR. Accomplishments during that period include a contract true up just 10 months after contract transition, an on time completion of the EVMS review, and substantial progress on demolition of the K-25 and K-27 former gaseous diffusion plants.

Whitney did note several “challenges in the area of nuclear safety.” That includes safety reports for K-25 and K-27 that were delayed or not approved at first. But overall UCOR was pleased with the evaluation. “Our award fee determination for the period Feb. 1 to Sept 30, 2012, reflects a lot of exceptional and safe work being performed by our employees as we clean up DOE’s Oak Ridge Reservation,” UCOR spokesman Wayne McKinney said in a written response. “DOE pointed out a few challenges we faced in the nuclear safety area dealing predominantly with submission of some of our safety documents. That evaluation was for a period that ended 5 months ago. UCOR has made good progress in resolving these issues and has been successful in minimizing impact to the project."
