North Wind, Inc. has been awarded a competitive task order with the U.S. Department of Energy at the Energy Technology Engineering Center (ETEC). ETEC is located at the Santa Susanna Field Laboratory in Canoga Park, California.
Under the $25.7M task order, North Wind is responsible for environmental monitoring, surveillance and maintenance, facility maintenance and infrastructure support, project support, and deactivation and decommissioning activities. The task order has a three-year base period with an additional two-year option for the environmental monitoring, surveillance and maintenance, facility maintenance and infrastructure support, and project support. The task order structures the deactivation and decommissioning activities as three separate options which are grouped by facility.
North Wind Group President Chris Leichtweis commented that “we are extremely pleased about this award from DOE and are excited to offer our highly experienced team as a prime contractor for DOE at ETEC.”
In the mid-1950s, part of the Santa Susanna Field Laboratory was set aside for nuclear reactor development and testing related to the development of nuclear power and space power systems. ETEC’s historic mission involved nuclear research and development for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, a predecessor to DOE.
