Idaho Falls, ID- The
U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of
Environmental Management (EM) today
announced it is extending its contract
for the Idaho Cleanup Project at the
Idaho Site for a period of 6 months. The
contract period for the current
contractor, CH2M-WG Idaho, LLC, had been
scheduled to expire on September 30,
2015.
Today’s contract extension, valued at
approximately $114 million, is intended to
accommodate DOE’s competitive procurement
process for the new ICP core contract. This
action will allow for award of the new ICP Core
contract and transition to the new contract to
occur without interruptions of ongoing
environmental cleanup activities.
This extension will help ensure that the government receives the highest return on investment for its environmental restoration work. Since 2005, CH2M-WG Idaho, LLC (CWI) has been able to operate a highly successful cleanup program in Idaho, completing nearly every project ahead of schedule and under budget, saving the tax payer millions of dollars

remediation related to buried
waste
