Bidders on a Department of Energy contract, potentially worth $3 billion, for Phase 1B remediation work at the West Valley Demonstration Project in New York state, now have until March 11 to submit proposals.
The prior deadline was today, March 4.
Jacobs-led CH2M Hill-BWXT West Valley is the incumbent. Its contract, valued at less than $1 billion, started in August 2011 and was scheduled to run through February 2025.
Once home to a Nuclear Fuel Services reprocessing plant, West Valley is owned by New York state and located within a 200-acre tract at the Western New York Nuclear Service Center. DOE is responsible for cleanup and 90% of the cost, with the state footing the other 10%.
