And where would one go to actually read what this and other contracts say?
WE have to pay someone for design and construction management? What would we be building when we are getting rid of employees , and selling buildings?
Goes to show it’s spend spend spend as always.
What an outfit as usual. Pay someone else and give our higher ups bonuses for what another agency is being paid handsomely to do. Lets see there CORRECT figures if they can produce them with out fudging. This wont be looked into either like usual.
WTF! Parsons project saved the USPS 10.2 mill in 4 years and we are going to pay them 252 mill to do it for the next 6 years? What exactly did they do?
