CH2M Hill has won a five-year extension to its contract for cleanup work at the Department of Energy’s Hanford site.
CH2M Hill Plateau Remediation Company’s contract extension is valued at about $2.2 billion, DOE announced this week. It follows five years of earlier work valued at $3.7 billion under the original contract, which included $1.3 billion in federal economic stimulus funds.
“We determined CH2M Hill remains the best value to the government on the basis of price and other factors,” Matt McCormick, DOE’s Richland Operations Office manager, said in a release. “Extending the contract ensures continuity in cleanup as we finish major projects over the next five years.”
CH2M Hill bid successfully for the work in 2008, winning a cost-plus, award-fee contract originally estimated to be worth $4.5 billion over ten years. Areva Federal Services, East Tennessee Materials and Energy Corp. and Fluor Federal Services are among the major subcontractors on the project. They are working on range of demolition, groundwater remediation, fuels management and nuclear waste disposal at the former Cold War site in central Washington.
