About three dozen businesses turned out Sept. 21-22 to learn about the potential $3 billion contract for Phase 1B of Department of Energy cleanup at the West Valley Demonstration Project in New York state, according to online documents.
While the big crowd included plenty of the usual names around the weapons complex, one curiously absent was Jacobs, or its CH2M subsidiary, the lead partner in the incumbent team, CH2M-BWXT-West Valley.
The incumbent started doing cleanup at the nuclear site owned by New York State Energy Research and Development Authority under a contract, currently valued at $989 million in August 2011. The current deal expires in February 2025.
The registration list for the site tour and one-on-one meetings with DOE, which is responsible for cleaning up the state property can be found here. The slide presentation on the draft request for proposals can be found here.
DOE issued the draft request for proposals in late August for West Valley and says the final solicitation won’t come out before December. Nuclear Fuel Services ran a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant at the 200-acre West Valley for six years, until 1972.
