MONTREAL, July 22, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin (TSX:
SNC) has been awarded an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity
(IDIQ) contract to provide nationwide deactivation, decommissioning
and removal (DD&R) of nuclear facilities, as well as waste
management and program support from the US Department of Energy
(DOE) Office of Environmental Management (EM), through its Atkins
Nuclear Secured Holdings Corporation entity. This multiple award
contract has a 10-year ordering period, and a maximum ceiling of
$3 billion US, split between nine
companies. This contract is within SNCL Engineering Services, the
cornerstone of our strategy moving forward to greater growth and
support for our partners and customers.
"We are pleased to be included in this list of awardees to
provide deactivation, decommissioning and removal of nuclear
facilities to the US DOE to reduce environmental risks," said
Sandy Taylor, President, Nuclear,
SNC-Lavalin. "Waste management and decommissioning is a significant
and growing part of SNC-Lavalin's nuclear business, and this
contract solidifies our position in this important market."
SNC-Lavalin previously held a DOE-EM prime contract that preceded
this nationwide DD&R contract.
"For more than 25 years we have solved some of the toughest
cleanup and decommissioning challenges for the Department of
Energy. We are excited to continue our support for the Office of
Environmental Management on this new installment of their national
IDIQ cleanup contract," added Tom
Jouvanis, President, Atkins Nuclear Secured.
DOE-EM will issue task orders to conduct DD&R of excess,
legacy facilities across the EM complex. This support will also be
available to the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA),
Office of Naval Reactors (NR) and the Office of Science (SC), as
well as other DOE Offices or other Federal Agencies that may
request EM assistance in accomplishing their DD&R
requirements.
