DALLAS, Oct. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs Engineering
Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) has been awarded a 12-month contract
extension by the Department of Energy (DOE) for continued safe and
efficient environmental remediation efforts along the Columbia
River and selected portions of the Hanford site. The DOE announced
its intention to extend Jacobs' existing 10-year contract from its
original October 1, 2018 end-date

"Our team brings considerable innovative solutions with
unmatched capability for this important project," said Jacobs

President of North American Nuclear Karen
Wiemelt. "We stay committed to the Department of Energy in
delivering results that are safe and efficient."
With an expanded scope, workers will continue to progress on
demolition projects, retrieval of radioactive material, soil and
groundwater remediation, and waste treatment and disposal.
Additional scope has been added to the extension, such as
completing 618-10 Burial Ground revegetation, performing slab
removal on the Central Plateau, and maintaining the Fast Flux Test
Facility (FFTF) complex safely and compliantly while also treating
and disposing of sodium waste.
DOE said in the announcement of the extension, "Jacobs as the
incumbent contractor is the only contractor who has the unique
qualifications to continue the necessary activities at the DOE
Hanford site without a break in service until award is made of the
on-going competitive procurement."
