LEXINGTON, Ky. - EM’s Portsmouth/Paducah Project Office (PPPO) recently awarded $14 million, or about 95% of the available fee to the prime contractor at the Portsmouth Site in Ohio for its performance in the first half of fiscal year 2023, or Oct. 1 of last year through March 28 of this year.

The fee award goes to Fluor-BWXT Portsmouth, which conducts decontamination and decommissioning at the Portsmouth Site.

“The contractor has demonstrated notable improvement since the last performance evaluation," said PPPO Manager Joel Bradburne. “We appreciate our workforce that continues to safely deliver for the environment, the taxpayer and our communities."

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.

EM’s cost-plus-award-fee contracts are designed to provide incentive for excellence. In determining the awards, EM considers overall performance along with completion of specific EM mission objectives. The results are summarized on scorecards.
