KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Dennis Carr, chief operating officer at Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, told the Monitor here last week that the team’s parent company Fluor would compete for a follow-on management contract at Savannah River.
In late September, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) published a special notice with a draft request for proposal (RFP) for the future management and operation of the site. According to Carr, the transition at the site is set to happen at the end of fiscal year 2026, the 18th year that the Fluor-led joint venture Savannah River Nuclear Solutions would manage and operate at the site.
“I believe they’re starting to have industry conversations right now, but I assume they’ll follow with a final RFP,” Carr told the ExchangeMonitor here Wednesday after he spoke at a panel during the Energy Technology and Environmental Business Association’s 25th annual Business Opportunities and Technical Conference.
Responses to the special notice for draft RFPs are due by Friday, Nov. 8 at 2 p.m. eastern time.
“It makes sense,” Carr said. “You know, it’s time to freshen it up, but we will be part of that competition, we as the parent company Fluor.”
