The Energy Department’s Office of Environmental Management (EM) has a busy procurement schedule for bid proposals and contract awards into 2019.
The most recent Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center timeline for requests for proposals and contract awards was presented last month at the Waste Management Symposia by Norbert Doyle, EM’s acting deputy assistant secretary for acquisition and project management.
Highlights include:
- A potential $150 million contract for a technical services provider for the Portsmouth/Paducah Project Office could be issued between now and July. The request for proposals was issued in mid-2017 for the former gaseous diffusion facilities in Ohio and Kentucky. The combined contract would involve technical engineering, general administrative support, information technology infrastructure support, and overseeing safeguards and security.
- EM recently issued an RFP for the potential $250 million contract for construction of the Outfall 200 Mercury Treatment Facility at the Y-12 National Security Complex at Oak Ridge, Tenn. Contract award is anticipated from June to August.
- Following that, EM expects in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 to issue a request for proposals for the full cleanup contact at the Oak Ridge Reservation. The contract, worth $2 billion to $5 billion, is expected to be awarded in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.
- An RFP could drop by October for the potential $400 million environmental services contract at the Nevada National Security Site. Contract award is projected by September 2019. Responsibilities include soil remediation, decontamination and demolition, and the radioactive waste acceptance program.
- Award of the management and operations contract for the Savannah River Site in South Carolina is targeted by June 2019. The Doyle slides list the RFP date as to be determined. The Energy Department has previously said a draft RFP could come by the end of April. The contract includes mission work for both EM and DOE’s semiautonomous National Nuclear Security Administration, along with managing the Savannah River National Laboratory. No estimated value is listed in Doyle’s presentation.
