Task Order Awarded for Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Follow-On Effort

Task Order Awarded for Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Follow-On Effort

April 20, 2016 - 11:30am
Cincinnati - The Department of Energy (DOE) today announced the award of a Fixed Unit Rate and Cost Reimbursement Task Order issued under the Office of Environmental Management Nationwide Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) Multiple Award contract to Portage, Inc. of Idaho Falls, ID. Portage, Inc. is a Small Business entity. The Task Order is valued at $153.8 million over 5 years and is a non-competitive logical follow-on effort to the original, competed Task Order awarded in November 2011 to Portage, Inc. Performance under this new Task Order will commence on October 1, 2016, upon the expiration of the existing Task Order expiring on September 30, 2016.
Work under this Task Order is similar to the original Task Order and will relocate mill tailings, associated wastes, and other contaminated materials from the former uranium-ore processing facility site (presently the Moab Site), and contaminated materials from one off-site vicinity property in Moab, Utah, to a DOE-constructed engineered disposal facility near Crescent Junction, Utah. The scope includes the maintenance of facilities, grounds, and railroad structures at the Moab Site and the Crescent Junction disposal cell, necessary to continue relocation of the mill tailings and associated wastes. This effort will continue making substantial progress toward remediation of the remaining residual radioactive material, including the remediation of the tailings pile, and remediation of the contaminated sub-pile below the tailings at the Moab Site.
