The Department of Energy has extended by one week the deadline for bids for the new contract to manage Nuclear Regulatory Commission-licensed facilities at the Department’s Idaho site and in Colorado. Bids are now due by May 8, instead of April 30, under an amendment to the final Request for Proposals for the new contract issued late this week. The new contract, which is being set aside for small businesses meeting a $38.5 million size standard, would cover work at the Fort St. Vrain facility in Colorado; the Three Mile Island-2 Independent Spent Fuel Storage facility at the Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center (INTEC) in Idaho; and the Idaho Spent Fuel Facility (ISFF) license.
IN THE INDUSTRY
Amec Foster Wheeler announced last week that the U.K. Nuclear Decommissioning Authority awarded the company a four-year contract to increase its role in decommissioning and waste management services. The value of the contract has not been announced yet, but the scope of work covers activities related to site characterization, engineering design, and delivery of the planned U.K. geological disposal facility. “By combining our clean energy and environmental skills we are able to provide a world-class service to the NDA in their drive to manage the UK’s nuclear clean-up programme,” Andy White, Vice President of Amec Foster Wheeler’s Nuclear Services business, said in a statement. “The award also further reinforces our position as one of the world’s leading nuclear services companies.”
