Commodore Advanced Sciences, Inc. Awarded Two Year Contract Extension From Bechtel Jacobs, Co. in Oak Ridge, TN
Monday August 28, 11:00 am ET

NEW YORK, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 28, 2006 -- Commodore Applied Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB:CXIA.OB - News), today announced that its wholly owned engineering services subsidiary, Commodore Advanced Sciences, Inc. (CASI), has been awarded a two year option extension to the environmental sampling and data integration contract by Bechtel Jacobs Company, LLC (BJC) of Oak Ridge, TN. The contract option extends the contract through September 2008.

The Environmental Data Acquisition and Management (EDAM) contract was originally awarded to CAST and was valued at over $14 million for the two year base period which ends in September 2006. The original EDAM contract scope of work included four major components: execution of environmental sampling, sample management, sample analyses, and environmental information management. Sampling includes collecting soil, groundwater, surface water, air, sediment, biological, waste characterization, and building D&D samples in support of site closures and CERCLA, RCRA, NPDES, and TSCA compliance at all three U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) Oak Ridge sites: ETTP, ORNL, and Y-12. Sample Management includes coordination of sample shipments to analytical laboratories and data management.

The CAST team has performed on 57 work releases (Task Orders) over the last two years delivering sampling and data management services to BJC in the Oak Ridge, TN area. The CAST team has achieved a perfect safety record over the last two year period on the EDAM contract. The CAST Team has performed all sampling activities, both routine and challenging, with strict adherence to quality controls and health and safety guidelines set by BJC.

Commodore\'s Chairman and CEO Shelby Brewer stated: "This is great news for our company and its stockholders. The extension indicates the satisfaction our client has in our performance." Mr. Brewer continued: "The elements of the extension are different and more appropriate for Commodore compared to the original work scope. BJC has taken steps to \'de-clutter\' the contract, by self performing sample management activities and environmental information management activities. This will remove the administration of analytical laboratories, a non-margin work scope for Commodore. We expect that the sampling volume will continue to be as robust in 2007 and 2008 as in previous years, which will reflect positively in our operating margins for the Company."

Mr. Walter Foutz, the EDAM Program Manager, commented that: "The contract option award and modification of the scope of work is an indication of the client\'s satisfaction with Commodore\'s competence in safely performing its core capabilities in environmental monitoring while also delivering best value. The modification of the scope of work will allow us to grow our core capabilities and remove the obligations of no-fee administrative tasks."

Dies ist keine Verkaufs- oder Kaufempfehlung. Unter Umständen kann man sich den Titel mal auf die Watchlist stellen. Aktien können fallen oder steigen.

Als Schwachpunkt i. g. Meldung, finde ich, dass keine Contracthöhe der Vertragsverlängerung aufgeführt wurde. Sobald dieser Punkt nicht abgeklärt ist, erstmal auf die Watchlist.  

Ich würde den Titel erstmal nicht kaufen, da keine Stelle auf die Vertragshöhe gefunden habe. Der alte Vertrag mit 14 Mio. wäre natürlich klasse. Bis der Punkt nicht geklärt ist, zumindest mal beobachten.
