WESTON/TRU Solutions Participating in Reopened Procurement Discussion

ALBUQUERQUE, NM - November 17, 2000 - TRU Solutions LLC is participating in reopened procurement discussions with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to manage and operate the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad, New Mexico. TRU Solutions is a joint venture of Washington Group's Westinghouse Governmental Services unit (88%) and Roy F. Weston, Inc. (12%). As previously announced by the DOE, Washington Group and WESTON, the $500 million contract had previously been awarded to TRU Solutions.

TRU Solutions is cooperating fully with the DOE. Ambrose L. Schwallie, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Washington Group Government Services stated: "We have an excellent proposal, good people and have performed solidly at WIPP since the early 1980s."

WESTON is a leading infrastructure redevelopment services firm serving industry and government worldwide. With an emphasis on creating lasting economic solutions for its clients, the company's services include site remediation and redevelopment, infrastructure operations and knowledge systems management to bring impaired facilities, land and other resources back to productive use.
