The FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulations) Councils have proposed an amendment to “clarify” … | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update
The FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulations) Councils have proposed an amendment to “clarify” that Government agency acquisition personnel are permitted and encouraged to engage in responsible and constructive exchanges with industry, so long as those exchanges are consistent with existing law and regulation and do not promote an unfair competitive advantage to particular firms. That’s well and good but your average acquisition person is not going to know what the existing laws and regulations are, much less permit, and they’re too busy anyway to stop and try to figure it out. In addition, they’re also too busy to take the time to have meaningful discussions with contractors or wannabe contractors. This regulation, if adopted, will become a field day for bid protests – one little slip-up and you’ve got a bid protest to deal with.

Contractors Pay $125 Million to Settle Safety Concerns | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update
A DOE (Department of Energy) contractor and its primary subcontractor have agreed to pay $125 million to settle allegations that they charged the Government for materials and work that did not meet standards required for nuclear facilities and used Government funds to pay for lobbying expenses. Bechtel National will pay $67.5 million and AECOM Energy and Construction Inc. will pay $57.5 million. AECOM, for its part, is a successor in interest to URS Energy and Construction Inc.and maintains that the events leading to the settlement occurred prior to its acquisition of URS. We wonder if this liability was reflected in the purchase price of URS.
