It's Official

I’ve still yet to see anything about this in the local media (but to be truthful, I don’t follow local media all that faithfully so they could have had it and I’ve missed it) but the Weapons Complex Monitor announced July 1 the extension of CWI’s cleanup contract in Idaho through 2015.

WCM writes in part:

DOE’s decision to grant CWI – made up of CH2M Hill and URS – an additional three years at Idaho is set to be greeted with disappointment from most other cleanup contractors, with the recompete of the Idaho cleanup contract having been eagerly anticipated as one of the last near-term major contracting opportunities in the DOE cleanup program.

There’s a 60-day comment period now, in which the extension could be contested, and given the competitive atmosphere over the fence at AMWTP, where extensions and contract awards have been contested left and right over the past year, anything is possible.
