Under Task 24, the RAE Team provided Quality Assurance support to the Special Recovery Line (SRL) and the Advanced Recovery and Integrated Extraction System (ARIES) projects of NMT-6. Support was provided through ESH-14. Monthly reports of work performed under this task were provided to NMT-6 and ESH-14. Copies of these reports are in RAE's project files. The procedures and assessment reports required by the task are on file only at NMT-6 because of the sensitive nature of the information. In March 1999, our subcontractor, General Physics, informed us that the two individuals working on the task were resigning effective April 2, 1999. RAE notified Gary Cort, ESH-14 technical representative for the task, and offered to replace the two individuals so that we could complete our obligations under the task (e-mail attached). No reply was ever received from Mr. Cert. We then reiterated our concern and offer of replacement with Mr. Cort's deputy, Spencer Hill (e-mail attached). No reply was received from Mr. Hill either. We subsequently learned the two General Physics employees were hired by another contractor and that the remaining work under the task was given to that contractor. We assumed our obligations under the task were completed at that point and notified the contracting officer to that effect
