- Description
- DOE-SR OCC is responsible for providing legal advice, counsel, and support to the Manager, DOESR�and program offices to further the Department's mission of the environmental cleanup of the�Savannah River Site (SRS). DOE-SR OCC is faced with several claims in regarding construction of�the Salt Waste Processing Facility. The Fox Rothschild firm has worked for DOE in the past providing�their expertise in collecting, reviewing, and identifying pertinent documents needed for litigation�through their eDiscovery tool. This allowed government attorneys to render legal opinions and offer�legal advice to decision makers, in addition to developing positions related to pending litigation. Fox�Rothchild will also provide litigation assistance and support to DOE-SR OCC Counsel, including but�not limited to case reviews, development of litigation strategy, advice and preparation of draft motions�and witness outlines and other legal advice and support necessary for the defense of DOE in these�appeals. The use of the Fox Rothschild eDiscovery tool will reduce the man hours spent in OCC reviewing�documents and preparing them by hand. Additionally, Fox Rothschild specializes and can ensure that�electronic evidence is handled in a legally compliant manner, furthering judicial economy and�reducing foreseeable litigation costs to the DOE. Fox Rothschild will evaluate the three appeals and�assist OCC with litigation strategy. Fox Rothschild may also assist with briefs and preparation of�witness testimony and other tasks needed to arrive at a successful conclusion to the litigation.��Awarding to anyone other than Fox Rothschild would take additional time and lead to an unacceptable�delay for the current legal preparation needed. Fox Rothschild has the needed expertise in practice�before the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (CBCA) and is familiar with the Savannah River Site�because of its previous assistance to NNSA with litigation support. DOE is only soliciting one quote and the period of performance will be one year, with consideration of�adding two (2) option years.
