The City of Grand Junction is requesting competitive pricing to load and haul Residual Radioactive Material (RRM) to the Grand Junction, Colorado, Disposal Site (GJDS). The City has allowed RRM found within the City limits of Grand Junction, to be temporarily stockpiled at the City Shops, 333 West Avenue in an old sewage clarifier structure (the clarifier). The GJDS is owned and managed by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Legacy Management (DOE-LM) and is operated by its prime contractor, Navarro Research and Engineering (Navarro). The GJDS, formerly known as the DOE Cheney Repository, will open on July 30, 2018 to receive the RRM. There is an estimated 3,000 cubic yards (5,500 Tons) of RRM including uranium mill tailings, soil, concrete and aggregate to be removed from City Shops and hauled to the GJDS.
