The period of extension is valued at approximately $65 million. With the extension, the contract will expire on March 31, 2018. The contract was originally set to expire on Sept. 30, 2017.
The Los Alamos Legacy Cleanup Bridge Contract is a Cost-Plus-Award Fee (CPAF) contract that is for the purpose of providing environmental remediation services at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Facilitate the successful accomplishment of the necessary near-term mission critical work scope with the least amount of disruption; and 2.) Provide the Office of Environmental Management with the time necessary to complete the procurement of the performance-based, longer term Los Alamos Legacy Cleanup Contract (LLCC).
Los Alamos National Security LLC (LANS), a large business, is the prime contractor. LANS is a consortium of firms which includes Bechtel, AECOM, BWXT Technologies, and the University of California.
