NONE

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: In order to earn incentive fee under this Performance Incentive, the Contractor shall:

1. Meet the specific completion criteria and expectations set forth in this Performance Incentive; and
2. Not incur any unfavorable cost variance [(BCWP-ACWP)/BCWP] greater than 5.0 percent, or incur any unfavorable schedule variance [(BCWP-BCWS)/BCWS] greater than 7.5 percent, measured at the Project Baseline Summary level at the end of FY 2001.

DEFINE COMPLETION: (Specify Performance Elements and describe indicators of success (quality/progress). Include baseline documentation/data against which completion documentation should be compared).

Measure 1 -

Expectation 1:          Regular:

The contractor shall have treated and disposed, and/or direct disposed, a minimum of 420 m3 (pretreatment volume) of MLLW into Hanford’s RCRA Subtitle-C lined landfills and/or the unlined LLW landfills (as regulatorily applicable and in accordance with HNF-EP-0063), by 9/30/01. The volume of the EC-1 condensers may not be counted for this portion (i.e., toward the 420 m3 ) of this expectation.

Stretch:

The contractor shall have treated and disposed, and/or direct disposed, a minimum of 100 m3 (pretreatment volume) of additional MLLW (above 420 m3 ) into Hanford’s RCRA subtitle-C lined landfills and/or the unlined LLW landfills (as regulatorily applicable and in accordance with HNF-EP-0063), by 9/30/01. The volume of the EC-1 condensers may not be counted for this portion (i.e., toward the 100 m3 ) of the stretch portion. The contractor shall have treated and disposed the two EC-1 condensers into either Hanford’s RCRA subtitle-C landfills and/or the unlined LLW landfills (as regulatorily applicable and in accordance with HNF-EP-063) by 9/30/01. The condensers include the legacy condenser stored at the T Plant Complex as well as the condenser to be removed from 242-A as part of FY 2001 upgrades. Reactor compartment disposal does not count towards this Performance Incentive Measure (Regular or Stretch).

Measure 2 -

Expectation 1:          Regular:	The contractor shall complete certification for shipment to WIPP a minimum of 33 m3 of TRU and/or TRUM by 9/30/01.
Stretch:	The contractor shall complete certification for shipment to WIPP, a minimum of an additional 9 m3 of TRU and/or TRUM by 9/30/01.

Measure 3 -

Expectation 1:          Stretch:

The Contractor shall retrieve the remaining inventory of vented uncovered CH suspect TRU drums (approximately 600 drums) from interim storage in the Low Level Burial Grounds (LLBG) by 9/30/01. Retrieval shall consist of removing the drums from a stack and making a waste designation as to TRU or LLW, either by assaying the drums or through an alternate RL approved methodology. Removal of the drums from the Low Level Burial Grounds is not required to earn the fee for this measure.

DEFINITIONS: (define terms)

The definitions of transuranic waste (TRU), transuranic mixed waste (TRUM), low-level waste (LLW), and mixed waste (MLLW) are the same as those provided in DOE Order 435.1. Mixed waste is synonymous with mixed low-level waste.

Disposal is defined as the placement of compliant waste into the appropriate waste trench based on the waste acceptance and permit criteria, and/or MLLW that exits regulatory requirements after treatment and is disposed into the low level burial ground trenches.

Uncovered drums are defined as those drums that can be removed (as part of a complete row) from a stack without movement of soil (not including blown sand), cutting or removal of plywood partially covered by overburden or upper tier rows.

Retrieval is defined as removing the drums from a stack and making a waste designation as to TRU or LLW, either by assaying the drums or through an alternate RL approved methodology. Removal of the drums from the trench is not required. Retrieval (as defined above) of unvented drums is not included in the work scope of this Performance Incentive.

Certification for shipment to WIPP for TRU and/or TRUM is defined as performing the necessary data reconciliation activities for each container per Attachment 2 (Reconciliation with Data Quality Objectives) of procedure WMH-400, Section 7.1.1.

One cubic meter (m³) of TRU and/or TRUM is defined as five 55-gallon drums or one standard waste box containing TRU and/or TRUM.

Direct disposal is defined as MLLW that meets the disposal criteria for Hanford’s Subtitle-C lined landfills in the “as received” condition from a generator. Either the generator treated the waste prior to shipment, or the waste met the LDR requirements in the “as generated’ condition.

COMPLETION DOCUMENTS LIST: (In addition to the Completion Notice the document(s) that should be submitted/data that should be available/actions to be taken by evaluator, to determine actual performance to the requirements stated above).

Measure 1 –

Expectation 1:          Regular:

The contractor shall submit a letter report to RL by 10/19/01 that documents the quantity of MLLW treated and disposed, and/or direct disposed during FY 2001. The report shall include inventories, processing dates, associated Package Identification Numbers (PIN’s), the type of treatment used, and the final disposal location.

Stretch:

The contractor shall submit a letter report to RL by 10/19/01 that documents the quantity of MLLW treated and disposed, and/or direct disposed during FY 2001. The report shall include inventories, processing dates, associated Package Identification Numbers (PIN’s), the type of treatment used and the final disposal location. The contractor shall submit a letter report to RL by 10/19/01 documenting the disposal of the two condensers. The report shall include before and after photographs of both treatment and disposal for each condenser and a description of all treatment performed on the condensers in order to place them in a compliant condition allowing for disposal

The same letter report may be utilized for both the regular and stretch expectations, but it is to clearly demonstrate how each part of the expectation was met.

Measure 2 -

Expectation 1:          Regular and Stretch:
	The contractor shall submit a letter report to RL by 10/19/01, documenting by container identification number (CIN) the quantity of TRU and/or TRUM certified for shipment to WIPP during FY 2001. In addition, the report shall include a completed Attachment 2 (Reconciliation with Data Quality Objectives) of WMH-400, Section 7.1.1, for each container of TRU and/or TRUM certified.

Measure 3 -

Expectation 1:          Stretch:

The contractor shall submit a letter report to RL by 10/19/01 documenting the number of uncovered vented drums retrieved by their associated Package Identification Number (PIN) and the waste designation (LLW or TRU) of the drums.

ASSUMPTIONS/TECHNICAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS AND REMEDY STATED: (For reasonably foreseeable impacts to performance which are not covered under the Contract. If the assumption or condition proves false the remedy shall be in effect. If the remedy is not possible the next step is renegotiation).
