EI Review is one of the few firms that have had direct support and development assistance experience with both the start, interim setup, and establishment of a privatization initiative involving the transition of government-owned buildings and equipment to private industry lease arrangements. This directly applicable experience was obtained at the Department of Energy (DOE) Oak Ridge Operations facility complex, specifically at the former K-25 Plant (now called the East Tennessee Technology Park).
Beginning in 1992, the Vice President of EI Review was directly supporting the staff of the K-25 Site Office (a DOE oversight group), which was located at the DOE Oak Ridge K-25 Site. During this time, these personnel were directly involved in support, assistance, and improvement initiatives to garner support for, and to ultimately develop, a thriving privatization program at the plant. To date, our firm has not only been a participant, but supports them to the extent of maintaining participating office facilities at the Site, and is a vital partner in the privatization effort. Hence, our firm has been involved not only on the experience side from the inside, but also as a partner on the industry side (outside). There are few small, commercial firms that can demonstrate such unique experience under SIN 874-6.
