AIKEN, S.C. – Savannah River Site (SRS) protective force services contractor Centerra-SRS earned an overall “excellent” performance rating and about $3.1 million, or 96 percent of the available fee for the DOE evaluation period of Oct. 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019, according to an award fee determination scorecard.
Centerra personnel demonstrated an exceptional level of performance during the evaluation period, executing the SRS security mission effectively and competently, according to the scorecard.
“The Centerra-SRS achievements and accomplishments during this performance rating period demonstrate overall exceptional practices in protection of SRS national security interests and resources,” DOE Savannah River Operations Office Manager Mike Budney said.
Following are some of Centerra’s achievements detailed in the scorecard:
- Law enforcement officers conducted effective traffic enforcement and accident investigations; responded to over 2,400 calls for service; issued just over 1,100 traffic citations and warning tickets; and successfully investigated a theft of government property that resulted in the recovery of items valued at more than $20,000.
- The perimeter protection department safely conducted over 61,000 random vehicle inspections and completed over 260 incident reports involving violations for matters such as site entry and exit requirements.
- Centerra successfully completed an annual firearms safety assessment and was honored by the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce for its workplace injury rate; during the evaluation period, Centerra employees worked 267 days and more than 1 million hours without a lost workday injury.
Centerra was also recently awarded the 2018 Jeff Snow Memorial Aviation Program Award, an excellence award presented annually to the top aviation program across the DOE complex. See the full story on this award in this EM Update.
There were two minor vehicle backing accidents and four "individual single point failures" involving inefficient entry control inspections, inattention to duty, and incorrect barricade arm operations, according to the scorecard. Centerra addressed each deficiency appropriately, and corrective actions were implemented.
