A new structure?

Image
By
The new structure for the bid being developed by UC and Bechtel/AECOM It appears the talks between UC and Bechtel and developing a new structure. This structure would be to break the Operations and Projects PADs away from the Science/Technology/Security making each partner responsible for the management, performance, and fee. How would this effect Weapons PAD and program???

NOT an option according to the draft RFP. While this pie-in-the-sky arrangement might be attractive, it is DOA at NNSA.

Again I am hearing that UC is NOT teaming with Bechtel anymore. Maybe they talked but it fell apart. I think Bechtel is seen as utterly toxic at this point.

Could be an option under an internal agreement but they cannot propose this.

UC and Bechtel-Jacobs have been in bed together so long it hardly makes any difference what we call it. Whatever the name, it has been a disaster for Los Aamos, US science, and our National Defense.

The structure might seem different on paper, but the "past performance" grading on their bid would score the exact same as LANS, huge negative. So why do it.

Except the list shows many are interested. Why do you insist on saying things that are obviously false and easily checked?

The list is full of small players that cannot Prime. There are only three big players on the published list and two are current partners. (Bechtel: current, BWXT: current, GD)

Truth is they will hold out for a better deal before expressing interest.

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Rumor corner

By scooby
LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.
