Ohio-based company wins $51 million demolition and remediation contract.
LATA-Sharp Remediation Services of Westerville, Ohio, has won a $51 million task order to demolish the K-33 building – which once housed a uranium-enrichment operation – at Oak Ridge. The work is being funded with money from the Recovery Act. LATA-Sharp earlier won a $10 million Recovery Act contract to cap old waste burial sites at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
DOE spokesman John Shewairy today confirmed the award, which was done through the ID/IQ (indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity) national contracting program. The work will be done under a fixed-price task order, he said.
“(Demolition of K-33) addresses one of the department’s major efforts — that’s footprint reduction,” Shewairy said today. “And certainly by the time we’re done it will free up a sizable piece of property. So it’s definitely in keeping with one of the program’s priorities.”
