Bechtel was never worth a damn
UC is a far cry from it's former glory. Bechtel was never worth a damn. Given that, I'm sure the NNSA will find new and creative ways to encumber scientists with additional Government bureaucracy while putting inept Beltway bandits in charge of the US nuclear weapons enterprise.

Bechtel baby it's BECHTEL BABY! It is $$$, attituuude, instinct, and winning. You get it or you get out, go big or go home. It is worldwide and dropping the mic, doing victory laps and then some... It is Bechtel Baby you know it or you don't. It is going for the midterm get in for 5-10 years, get the spoils and move on to the next and the next after that, but place some operatives for the slow long term FUNNEL. It is Bechtel Baby, play it, do it, win it, live it, cash it in and f* it. It is Vibrant, UNREAL, contagious, ALIVE,... it is the VUCA many times over and under. It bribes the natives, moves mountains, build tunnels, and is essential, it follows the money, grabs it by the, well you know, and the money lets Bechtel grab it by the. It is Bechtel baby!!! There is no ??? to it nor can there be because it is essential. Bechtel baby, you get it you or you don't and some have gotten it very very very well and played it well and made the money.
OK, now??

The real problem is NNSA. They are incompetent customers.
NNSA IS a problem. UC's poor quality managers too. Bechtel, they are incompetent but they're only a minor player. Blaming Bechtel is like blaming a hangnail for your mental illness.
The problems with LANL are overwhelmingly those derived from the enduringly incompetent buffoons that populate the UC management ranks. In fact there are some failures where Bechtel gets minor blame, but in those instances the company acted swiftly to remove and replace the managers.
Bechtel is really Bechtel-Jacobs, which is really UC. They are all but one and the same.
Bechtel likely has a few lingering good memories of how well things went for them in the initial years of LANS; however, there hasn't been much joy for them at all since Charlie and his team of UC lifers took over and sullied up Bechtel's name in the process.
Bechtel is really Bechtel-Jacobs, which is really UC. They are all but one and the same.

WTF??!!?? Please explain this insanity. Oh, go ahead and try, you might have fun! At least, the rest of us will have fun.
Ever heard of the Jacob's school of engineering at the University of California, San Diego? Same family as Bechtel-Jacobs corporation. Like it or not, they are one and the same.
Ever heard of the Bechtel Engineering Center at Cal Berkeley. What is your point?
