LAS VEGAS - EM’s Nevada Program has awarded its environmental characterization and remediation contractor for fiscal year (FY) 2017.
Navarro Research and Engineering, Inc. earned nearly $836,000 fee for performing services at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) and Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), addressing the legacy of contaminated soil, facilities, and groundwater.
Key FY 2017 accomplishments include collaborating to complete the Rainier Mesa/Shoshone Mountain Flow and Transport Model Report on schedule, implementing alternative modeling with the EM Nevada Program and regulator, and advancing closure of multiple sites on the NNSS and NTTR, which reduces the EM Nevada Program liability and footprint.
Navarro earned the fee based on the EM Nevada Program’s evaluation of criteria for award fee and performance Incentive fee pools.
“Navarro is very appreciative of the confidence the EM Nevada Program and Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center place in the work of our employees," Navarro Nevada Program Manager Dave Taylor said. “This year has been exceptionally challenging and the programmatic accomplishments would not have been possible without the outstanding collaboration from all of the federal staffs."
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.
