WEST VALLEY, N.Y. - EM’s cleanup contractor at the West Valley Demonstration Project for its March through August 2018 performance period, according to a recently released scorecard.
“CH2M HILL BWXT West Valley (CHBWV) continues to foster a positive working relationship with DOE through effective partnering during this rating period," said Ken Armstrong, EM’s fee determining official.
CHBWV’s noteworthy achievements for the period include:
“Very good" partnering with EM, with no reported injuries resulting in days away from work, restricted work activity, or transfer to another position.
Continuous support in functional areas regarding quality and timely submittals of contract deliverables of good quality.
Meeting its small business goal, with demonstrated improvements in the communication program and results of the annual Facility Information Management System validation, allowing better tracking of infrastructure costs.
Notable planning and execution of legacy waste processing and shipping, and good planning associated with infrastructure improvements.
Effective use of mockups in the Main Plant deactivation and the safe removal of the Vitrification Facility cooler units.
Timely submittal of all environmental and regulatory reports and continued fostering of positive regulatory relations through partnering.
The scorecard also noted that the contractor did not meet EM’s goal for its total recordable injury case rate. CHBWV received a notice of violation related to waste management activities and an assessment of civil penalty from the Utah Department of Environmental Quality. Additionally, CHBWV struggled with managing project risk for the Vitrification Facility demolition and debris shipping, resulting in an increase in project costs.
