RECOVERY: Environmental remediation and structural demolition

RECOVERY: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding in the amount of $54,000,000.00 is added to contract DE-AC24-05OH20192 for demolition of the X-533, X-633, and X-760 inactive facilities including soil characterization and remediation, removal of source contamination at the X-701B groundwater plume, packaging and disposition of approximately 8 lots of uranium material, and treatment and disposition of approximately 72 large low enriched uranium LEU) cylinders at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant site. Contract DE-AC24-05OH20192 is a Cost-Plus-Incentive Fee (CPIF) Small Business Set-Aside contract awarded to LATA/Parallax Portsmouth, LLC (LPP). The contract has been modified to extend the period of performance through June 30, 2010 and adds work scope for the continuation of environmental remediation activities at the Portsmouth site. Remediation activities include, but are not limited to the following: demolition of the X-633 RCW, X-533 Switchyard, and X-760 Chemical Engineering Building; source contaminant removal at the X-701B Groundwater Plume; and disposition of material in the Uranium Management Center (UMC). Rationale for using other than a fixed price and/or competitive award: Use of fixed price contracting is not feasible because the risk involved in environmental remediation work is high and cannot be predicted with an acceptable degree of certainty. Performance uncertainties cannot be identified and reasonable estimates of their cost impacts cannot be made. A Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) was approved by the DOE Senior Procurement Official July 24, 2009 pursuant to the authority of 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) and in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1 "Only One Responsible Source and No other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements." The contract extension will allow continuation of the environmental remediation activities at the Portsmouth site until completion of the on-going decontamination and decommissioning (D&D) competitive procurement.
