AIKEN, S.C. – EM’s Savannah River Field Office recently awarded its liquid waste contractor more than $12.5 million of nearly $13.2 million in available fee for the performance evaluation period of Jan. 1, 2018 through May 31, 2018.
Savannah River Remediation (SRR) received an “excellent” performance rating by exceeding many significant award fee criteria and meeting its contract performance requirements, according to the fee scorecard.
EM releases information relating to contractor fee payments — earned by completing the work called for in their contracts — to further transparency in its cleanup program.
SRR achieved key milestones toward the safe resumption of operational activities following a liquid waste system outage and provided timely prioritization of work scope, clear focus on safe operations, and expeditious response to changing contract conditions, according to the fee scorecard. The contractor also quickly addressed emerging issues while keeping clear focus on the safe operation of facilities.
During the performance period, SRR successfully completed an extended outage that allowed for system improvements, the scorecard noted. The contractor also made progress installing the Tank Closure Cesium Removal process equipment; double-stacking Defense Waste Processing Facility canisters in storage; and designing and constructing three Saltstone Disposal Units.
The scorecard noted the need for improvement in technical safety requirements and worker safety practices.
