RICHLAND, Wash. – EM’s Richland Operations Office (RL) issued its fiscal year 2015 fee determination for Hanford Site contractor CH2M HILL Plateau Remediation Company (CH2M). 

   Responsible for some of the most challenging work at Hanford, including the demolition of the Plutonium Finishing Plant, removal of radioactive sludge from the K Area Basin, and the safe storage of cesium and strontium capsules, CH2M received nearly $10.6 million, roughly 97 percent of the fee for which it was eligible.

   Each year EM releases information relating to contractor fee payments — earned by completing the work called for in the contracts — to further transparency in its cleanup program.

   “(CH2M) has performed exceptionally in the area of small business contracting…(and) has awarded more than $2 billion in contracts to small businesses since 2008,” according to the fee determination scorecard released by RL.

   In its correspondence, RL noted that CH2M did not miss any major Tri-Party Agreement milestones.

   “(CH2M) accomplished a number of the Department of Energy’s Key Performance Goals for Hanford Site cleanup,” according to the scorecard. “The contractor was very responsive to customer needs.”

   “We attribute that success to our dedicated workforce and the strong partnership we’ve built with our customer, and we look forward to continuing support of DOE’s mission to clean up the Hanford site,” according to a statement by John Ciucci, CH2M president and chief executive officer.
