All the "fat cats" at LANL have no intention of leaving until they are absolutely forced to. These cats have enjoyed the huge salaries, tax free bonuses, and lack of accountability since LANS took over in 2006.

If Bechtel is no longer involved in LANL then UCOP is more likely to drop them from LLNS and restructure it into a solely UC owned LLC. It would look very similar to LLNS in that it has a board of Governors appointed by UC and LLNL employees work for the LLC not UC. <br /><br />Remember the last bidding there was originally no one other than UC interested in the LLNL contract until NNSA doubled the fee from the original RFP. So if NNSA lowers the management fees by 50% for LANL and LLNL as is expected, and UC-Bechtel is out at LANL, then why would UC continue with Bechtel in a 2020 bid for LLNL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936951073896589340.post-91455409414328428252016-05-01T05:31:55.363-07:002016-05-01T05:31:55.363-07:00Major undertaking.
