If EIA were able to re-bid and lost than that would be OK..They were not given a chance to re-bid the contract and the contract was given to Atlas.
The contract was for 20 years with reviews every 5 years. Boeing told EIA that everything was OK so don't worry. Then they said no chance for re-bid have a nice day. We all bid on the contract 5 years ago and EIA won. If Boeing wanted to have a re-bid they should have opened it up to everyone who bid on it the first time.
I have alot of good friend at Atlas and I know you guys will do a good job with the contract. But if Atlas had the contract and 5 years down the road Boeing took it away. I think Atlas would want something for the effort.
If we bid and lost then sued, we would be BAD LOOSERS. EIA may or maynot get anything but you or I don't know that.
Atlas guys I wish you the best of luck with the LCF..I know you guys will do a good job as you always do. I hope everyone had a happy Easter.
