The Department of Energy later this month plans to hold an industry day event for the new Paducah infrastructure services contract. During the week of June 23, DOE plans to hold “a pre-solicitation conference, site tour, and one-on-one sessions with interested parties,” according to a recently posted notice. A draft Request for Proposals for the new contract is expected to be issued prior to the event, DOE said.
Dennis Yates, the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Operations Office facility representative, has been named “DOE Facility Representative of the Year.” Facility representatives focus on safety oversight and evaluation of contractor activities. “Dennis has made a vital impact on safe operations at SRS, as well as ensuring the HB-Line facility is operated safely,” Patrick McGuire, Assistant Manager for Nuclear Material Stabilization Project, Savannah River Operations Office, said in a statement.
