Swift & Staley, the infrastructure support services contractor at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, earned 95 percent of its available award fee in Fiscal Year 2014, according to information the Department of Energy released this week. The contractor received an overall rating of “excellent,” according to DOE’s fee scorecard, which notes that work volume and scope increased last year when the Paducah plant was transferred to the Department of Energy from previous leaseholder USEC. “During this time, SST significantly grew their organization to successfully perform such new tasks as redesigning switchyard configuration to support infrastructure optimization to establishing and greatly expanding technology infrastructure to support five hundred new employees associated with the transition contractor,” the scorecard states. “SST maintained excellent performance with their routine infrastructure tasks during the transition period.”
As DOE evaluates bids for the follow-on contract to provide Paducah infrastructure support services, it announced late last week that Swift & Staley’s contract will be extended for three months for a value of $14.5 million. The contract had been set to expire on March 30 and comes after bids for DOE’s follow-on contract were delivered in December. The extension “is intended to allow selection, contract award and transition to the new contract to occur without interruptions of ongoing services,” according to a DOE release.
