Maintaining the safety and security of Hanford operations and the workforce is the number one priority of MSA's emergency response forces.
RICHLAND, Wash. – EM’s Richland Operations Office (RL) has awarded Mission Support Alliance (MSA), the Hanford Site services contractor, 91 percent of its available fee for fiscal year 2016, according to a recently release award fee determination scorecard.
The contractor met or exceeded the majority of performance goals and objectives for the performance period, according to the scorecard.
Providing critical support to other Hanford Site contractors is central to the mission of MSA, which earned $19.2 million of the $21.1 million of available fee for 2016.
“I am pleased with the progress attained this past fiscal year. I look forward to working with MSA in continuing to right-size the Hanford Site infrastructure, improving site-wide safety, and overall, driving for safe and cost effective cleanup,” RL Manager Doug Shoop wrote in a letter to MSA accompanying the fee scorecard.
Among its significant accomplishments, according to the scorecard, MSA exceeded targets for completion of corrective maintenance on several utilities; performed notably in several areas, including conduct of business operations; provided excellent support to public involvement in renegotiating Tri-Party Agreement milestones; and demonstrated strong performance in safety and a culture of continuous improvement.
Despite the ratings of “excellent” and “very good” for the objective and subjective categories, respectively, in MSA’s performance and evaluation plan, RL noted room for improvement in quality and regulatory compliance.
“We are pleased with our partnership with DOE and the other Hanford contractors. This score is a tribute to our employees who perform a number of specialized services that are diverse and essential to cleanup,” MSA President Bill Johnson said.
