URS-CH2M Oak Ridge earned almost $3.7 million in fees for the first six months of Fiscal Year 2015, according to a performance letter released by the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management in Oak Ridge. Sue Cange, DOE’s environmental manager in Oak Ridge, said UCOR “continued to do extremely well” in executing the work scope of the contract that has focused heavily on work at the East Tennessee Technology Park – the site of a former uranium-enrichment complex. She provided an overview of the contractor’s performance in a July 2 letter to Ken Rueter, president and project manager for UCOR.
UCOR earned about $3.69 million for the six-month period that ended March 31, 2015. That was out of a maximum possible fee of $3.85M. Cange emphasized UCOR’s performance in demolishing the K-31 Building and preparing the K-27 gaseous diffusion plant for demolition over the next couple of years. UCOR earned 98 percent of the maximum possible fee for the Cost and Schedule Initiative. In the Project Management Initiative, the contractor received a 96 percent score for Project Management and Business Systems; 83 percent for Workers Safety, Health and Quality Management; and 93 percent for Environmental Management. UCOR spokesman Anne Smith said the contractor was “grateful for the award fee determination.” In a statement, she said, “We value the partnership (with DOE) and the feedback.”
