Council Member Julie Won inquires about the cost differences between contracts with Employee Protection Provisions (EPP) and those without. DOE officials explain the challenges in determining exact cost differences.
- It's difficult to ascertain precise cost differences due to the long-standing nature of legacy contracts
- Legacy contracts containing EPPs haven't been rebid in over 40 years
- Currently, the cost difference between non-legacy and legacy contracts is approximately 10% to 15%

It's very, very difficult to ascertain the difference in costs between the two contracts, meaning legacy and non those that contain EPPs and those that don't especially given that the legacy contracts that contain EPPs haven't been rebid in over 40 years.

Currently, the difference in cost between non legacies and legacy contracts is approximately 10% to 15%.
