handle is hein.gao/gaocrptadwd0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: North American Construction Corp. File: B-270085 Date: February 6, 1996 Thomas E. Hill, Esq., Haynes and Boone, for the protester. Leonard Crowley, Esq., and Cynthia S. Guill, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency reasonably determined that protester was nonresponsible, despite some indication of satisfactory performance on certain contracts, based upon information that the protester's performance on five recent contracts was deficient. DECISION North American Construction Corp. protests the agency determination that it is nonresponsible under invitation for bids (IFB) No. N68711-95-B-7525 issued by the Department of the Navy, the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Southern Division, for the excavation, removal, and replacement of underground storage tanks at the Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton, California. North American argues that the nonresponsibility determination was improper. We deny the protest. Nine bids, including one from North American, were opened on the August 24, 1995, bid opening date. The low bid of $2,174,717 was eliminated as nonresponsive. North American, the second low bidder at $2,608,517, was then considered for award. The Navy requested information from North American about its experience in performing similar contracts and made its own inquiries as to North American's ability to perform the work. Specifically, the contracting officer relied upon two sources: a telephone survey, including four references submitted by North American, concerning recently completed work or current work being performed by 102126
