AI Contract Overview

Modification 007 to the contract DE-AC09-09SR22505 commits $200 million to support infrastructure improvements under the Liquid Waste Program at the Savannah River Site. This funding accelerates the originally planned work from 2011 to Fiscal Year 2010, aligning with the objectives of the Recovery Act to promote economic growth while advancing the Department of Energy's goals of reducing environmental management footprint and preparing Federal land for future missions. The expedited schedule is expected to generate approximately 470 jobs for the skilled local workforce. The contract uses a Cost-Plus-Award-Fee approach due to the complexities and uncertainties inherent in nuclear waste cleanup, though efforts are encouraged to implement competitive firm-fixed-price subcontracts where feasible to enhance efficiency and accountability. The scope largely involves continuing waste removal and treatment activities to support tank closure efforts. Although some support services could potentially be structured under firm-fixed-price agreements, detailed specifications have not yet been developed to allow for direct DOE awards before the end of September 2009. As a result, the prime contractor's subcontracting operations are encouraged to pursue competitive fixed-price arrangements where appropriate. DOE contracting officers will oversee these subcontract reviews and approvals to ensure compliance and promote competitiveness, thereby helping fulfill Recovery Act goals while managing the technical and operational challenges of the project.

Full Description

Modification 007 to Contract DE-AC09-09SR22505 obligates $200,000,000 for the scope of work included in the existing contract for the Liquid Waste (LW) Program, which includes infrastructure improvements to support continued waste removal and treatment activities to facilitate closure of waste tanks. This work was scheduled to be performed in the year 2011 and beyond, but through the award of the Recovery Act funds, the schedule for this work will be altered such that the performance of work will commence in Fiscal Year 2010, thereby meeting the intent of the Recovery Act to stimulate economic growth while also allowing DOE-SR to meet its strategic goals of reducing the Environmental Management footprint and making Federal land at the Savannah River Site available for other missions. Altering the schedule for the work to be performed under Modification 007 is projected to create approximately 470 jobs for the skilled workforce available in the surrounding area. The competitively awarded LW contract (containing the work scope to be performed using Recovery Act funding) contains a Cost-Plus-Award-Fee incentive arrangement due to the uncertainty of operations associated with the complexities of nuclear waste cleanup and disposition. While there may be elements of support services required by the prime contractor in performing and overseeing this work scope that could be adequately specified to the degree necessary to achieve firm fixed price, these specifications have yet to be developed and will not be available to facilitate any direct DOE awards by September 30, 2009. Therefore, the Department will encourage such activity on the part of the LW contractor's subcontracting operations. Furthermore, DOE Contracting Officers and Contracting Officer Representatives will conduct the required subcontract reviews and approvals with the intent of requiring competitive firm-fixed-price subcontracts where possible and appropriate.
