The Department of Energy’s Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center in Cincinnati plans to increase the potential value of its technical support services deal with BTP Services LLC to $84.5-million from the current ceiling of $49.5-million.
The DOE office announced plans to increase the cap for the Consolidated Technical Support Services Contract with BTP in a procurement notice published online Thursday.
“BTP Services, LLC. has provided planning, integration, management and execution of programs, projects, operations, and other activities at a high level over the course of this contract,” the DOE Office of Environmental Management said, in announcing its intention to bypass a typical full competition.
In July 2019, the initial $49.5-million indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract was awarded by the agency to BTP, a joint venture between Boston Government Services, headed by Harry Boston, and Trinity Engineering Associates. Boston Government Services is based in Oak Ridge, Tenn., and Trinity, headed by Kimberly Wood, is headquartered in Cincinnati. The DOE Office of Environmental Management is fast approaching the ceiling of the contract as currently written with $47.2 million worth of services ordered to date, the agency said in the Thursday notice.
Workers at the Department of Energy’s Hanford Site in Washington state had to cope with an unexpected springtime snowfall in their daily commute on Monday.
The DOE’s Hanford Site said via Twitter Monday that the 2.3 inches recorded by Leidos-led services contractor Hanford Mission Integration Solutions (HMIS) represents a new record for an April snow at the nuclear cleanup site. The prior record was one inch in 1982, according to the Twitter post.
“HMIS also cleared roads for safe travel across the site as the snow fell most of the morning,” according to the DOE post.
“Snow coming down in Kennewick on April 11,” the Washington state Department of Ecology’s central region said via Twitter. “Just what our thirsty region can use” to beat back drought conditions.
“No shifts were canceled due to snow,” a DOE spokesperson said by email Thursday. “There has been a little more snow this week (since Monday), but most has melted quickly.”
