In conclusion, if the Department of Energy is going to achieve the strategic objectives of the world's largest environment clean-up of contaminated sites, then they are going to have to identify and implement leading edge thinking, practices and solutions. This report should serve not as the end of best practices, identification and implementation rather it creates a platform for a wide range of beginnings, and establishes a starting point for continuous improvement of DOE and contractor's processes, practices and initiatives to allow D&D to be performed safer, faster, better at reduced costs. The approaches identified in this report will come to life by being shared, debated, and implemented in the context of organizational realities. Then, where appropriate, they need to be used and improved upon. We encourage the procurement and technical communities to use this document to facilitate an on-going dialog
