Dave Warren:
So, what is the real deal with the recent contracts awarded for this 7-month job to decon contaminated tools and equipment? I heard Bartlett got the Rad Engineer part of it and has already staffed it with 4 people. Then, I heard that Bartlett got the technician side also. Kevin O'Toole in Tulsa was taking resumes for that yesterday in Tulsa for Bartlett. Yesterday, someone told me that they called Bartlett and they were told that the technician part of it was already staffed. So, is the SGRP staffed? Is the 7-month decon staffed? Is the rad Engineer side staffed? Can you clear up the rumor mill, because I know there are quite a few people here at the Ridge who might be interested in going to the Bar. Watts Bar, that is....I know they want to go to the other Bar....lol

Dave, RadBastard is right about the wages, that’s the reason nothing is staffed at this time. Who would want to come here for 40’s when you could work an outage for some real bucks. If a new contract is not made soon there’s no way we will staff our fall SGR with Fort Calhoun paying more $.

$29 and no diem or
$23 with $1250 A MONTH for 60 days,Then after 60 days your diem will be taxed.
Thats $40 a day,
it's not the normal $80 a day because it is scheduled for more than 60 days for schizzle my nizzel.
All I know is they better stop smoking that tennesse wacki tobaci with those wages or nobody will be there for the sgrp.

Radbastard,
I agree with you that they will play hell finding techs at those wages...but the problem is there are too many fools that will go anyway...
And as usual they will bitch about the money after the fact...

Dave,
The word I got was that the engineering contract was filled the moment the contract was awarded. The contract called for the companies to send in ten names of the people that they were going to staff it with in the bid proposal. as far as the outage and the 7 month decon I have no idear on that situation.

I would have loved to have gone there but the pay just does not make it worthwhile.......they gotta get the diem problem fixed. I can live with a slightly lower hourly rate, just pay me good diem and put me to work for at least 72 hours a week. ;D
