The Energy Department announced Thursday it has awarded a five-year, $153.8 million follow-on task order to Portage Inc. to relocate waste from the agency’s Moab Site in Moab, Utah, to a disposal facility near Crescent Junction, Utah.
Under the task order, issued under DOE’s Office of Environmental Management nationwide indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity, multiple award contract, Portage will relocate mill tailings, associated wastes, and other contaminated materials from the onetime uranium-ore processing facility. The scope covers upkeep of sites, grounds, and railroad structures at Moab and the Crescent Junction disposal cell, DOE said.
Work under the new task order will begin Oct. 1, DOE said. The deal is a follow-on effort to a task order Portage received in 2011, and which expires in September.
