ORR CLEANUP CONTRACT OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES

Background

Since its inception in 1943, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR)’s Y-12

National Security Complex (Y-12), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and East Tennessee

Technology Park (ETTP) sites have supported a variety of DOE missions including weapons development and production, science and energy research, and isotope and nuclear fuel production. Today

Y-12 and ORNL are enduring sites performing key DOE missions. Y-12, managed and operated by

DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), processes and stores uranium to maintain the nation’s nuclear stockpile and provide fuel for the U.S. Nuclear Navy. ORNL, managed and operated by

DOE’s Office of Science, is the nation’s largest multi-program science and energy laboratory. As cleanup is completed, portions of ETTP are being transitioned to a commercial industrial park to support the regional economy.

Environmental liabilities from past DOE Oak Ridge activities remain to be addressed. To reduce risk, hundreds of excess contaminated facilities at Y-12 and ORNL must be demolished and sites with contaminated environmental media require remediation. Mercury is the prevalent legacy contaminant at

Y-12, but beryllium, uranium, and other chemicals are also present. ORNL excess facilities are contaminated with a variety of radioactive isotopes, including transuranics, as well as other chemicals.

Y-12 and ORNL also include DOE’s Office of Environmental Management (EM) operating facilities that support waste treatment and disposal and environmental compliance. Upon completion of decontamination and demolition activities at ETTP, most of the site will be privately owned. However, DOE will retain responsibility for the remaining environmental media cleanup, post-closure monitoring and care, and historic preservation.

The mission of DOE’s Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management (OREM) is to complete cleanup of the ORR to protect the region’s health and environment, make clean land available for future use, and enable vital DOE missions in science, energy, and national security. OREM’s mission supports DOE strategic goals to advance America’s sciences, energy security, and economic growth while minimizing the nation’s environmental and national security threats.

Contract Purpose and Objectives

One of DOE’s strategic goals is to clean up the nation’s Manhattan Project and Cold War legacies in compliance with laws and regulations. To accomplish this goal, DOE must reduce its environmental liabilities through accelerated cleanup of high-risk areas, thereby reducing risk and financial liability and returning land for its projected future use. This will be accomplished in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment.

The purpose of the ORR Cleanup Contract is to achieve maximum measurable results in advancing environmental cleanup requirements on the ORR at the best value to the U.S. taxpayer. This Performance

Work Statement (PWS) includes DOE’s desired outcomes and related end states to progress towards

ORR cleanup completion during the period of performance.

The Contractor is responsible for the performance of the scope under the Contract, including defining the specific methods, innovations, and graded approaches for accomplishing all work to be performed and managing, integrating, and executing work described in this PWS. DOE’s goal is to optimize scope completion, cost, and schedule associated with performance of all work in compliance with all applicable requirements. The work involves accessing classified information, up to and including Secret Restricted

Data level and category and/or special nuclear material, both of which require access authorizations

C-2

(clearances). Therefore, the Contractor must possess a facility clearance before access authorizations may be granted.

The Contractor shall comply with the Federal Facility Agreement (FFA); the Oak Ridge Reservation Site

Treatment Plan; approved Records of Decision (RODs) and other Comprehensive Environmental

Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, (CERCLA) as amended decision documents; and other applicable regulatory requirements. Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response

(HAZWOPER) requirements apply to certain facilities/areas as specified in 29 Code of Federal

Regulations (CFR) 1910.120.

Accelerated cleanup (i.e., accomplishing cleanup faster and more efficiently than planned) is a cooperative undertaking that requires the Contractor and the Government to seek innovative approaches to achieve the end states. Streamlining processes, eliminating non-value-added requirements, and identifying efficiencies and performance improvements are critical to accomplishing accelerated cleanup.

The Contractor shall, throughout the Contract period of performance, seek to reduce non-value-added requirements and processes that impede progress and identify efficiencies and performance improvements that reduce the actual cost and/or improve the schedule for the work.

Description of Performance Requirements

Scope Summary and Work Authorization

The overall scope of this Contract includes the following:

(a) Transition: Transition includes activities for the incoming transition from the ETTP Cleanup

Contract to the ORR Cleanup Contract and the outgoing transition to the follow-on contractor.

(b) Cleanup: Cleanup of the ORR encompasses preparation for demolition and/or demolition of numerous facilities and remediation of environmental media at ETTP, ORNL, and Y-12. Cleanup includes disposal of all associated wastes. Cleanup includes improvements (e.g., repairs, stabilization, upgrades) for facilities planned for future use or historic preservation.

(c) Construction and/or Startup of Mission Support Facilities: Complete Phase 1 construction and initiate operation of the Environmental Management Disposal Facility (EMDF), and complete commissioning of the Outfall 200 Mercury Treatment Facility (MTF) at Y-12.
