ExiledInIllinois Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 They shouldn't worry. The government hasn't met an A-76 they couldn't win by not having to play by the same rules they hold the companies who respond to it to. The entire process is pretty much a crock and totally stacked in their favor. It takes a really incompetent group for the gov to lose. 360854[/snapback] What about the Red River? (then again, minimal tonnage)... That was won 2 times by the gov't and with political pressure opened for the 3 time and given out to contract. Buffalo district lost Great Lakes dredging ops. in the early 80's... 2 years later contracts went up 300% when they realized there were no "in-house" people to match...

The government is under NO obligation to accept pricing increases like that (especially without significant justification) and it's DCAA's job to hold the contractor responsible.
