A joint venture of Perma-Fix Environmental Services and ERRG in December sealed a contract worth at least $15 million for cleanup services at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California.
The 18-month contract covers remediation, construction, and waste management at the Alameda County complex, according to a Dec. 23 press release from Perma-Fix. It could be expanded to provide $20 million in revenue.
“The work involves demolition of some existing structures, remediation of some existing contamination, and construction of some new support underground utilities,” Joe Morgan, project manager for the lab’s Project and Infrastructure Modernization Division, said by email. “More news will be forthcoming in the new year on the potential extension of the contract.”
Three vendors bid for the contract, according to Morgan. The deal with the Perma-Fix-ERRG partnership was signed on Dec. 13.
Perma-Fix, a waste management specialist based in Atlanta, said it has worked with ERRG on prior projects. A spokesman did not respond to a query regarding the latest win.
“This award further increases our funded backlog and bolsters our Services Segment revenues beginning in the first quarter of 2020,” Perma-Fix President and CEO Mark Duff said in the release. ”The Perma-Fix/ERRG JV was able to leverage our recent experience conducting complex remediation and demolition in radiological environments with potential for additional expansion as the project evolves. This win builds on our momentum established over the last two quarters to position Perma-Fix for continued growth in our Services Segment.”
