handle is hein.gao/gaobadbee0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A 0 Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Nova Builders File: B-402091; B-402091.2; B-402091.3 Date: January 19, 2010 Jacob B. Pankowski, Esq., Richard L. Moorhouse, Esq., and Sean M. Connolly, Esq., Greenberg Traurig LLP, for the protester. William W. Goodrich Jr., Esq., Richard J. Webber, Esq., and Kavitha J. Babu, Esq., Arent Fox LLP, for Clark/McCarthy Healthcare Partners, the intervenor. Stacey North-Willis, Esq., and Charima Quarles, Esq., Department of Veterans Affairs, for the agency. Sharon L. Larkin, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST In a procurement involving the award of a fixed-price incentive contract for preconstruction and construction services, the source selection authority's (SSA) selection of a lower-priced proposal that the SSA found to be essentially equal to the protester's under the non-price factors is reasonable, where the SSA performed a comprehensive evaluation and documented his source selection decision, including each of the areas of disagreement with the evaluation of the source selection evaluation team, and the SSA's conclusions are supported by the record and are consistent with the RFP. DECISION Nova Builders of Arlington, Virginia protests the award of a contract to Clark/McCarthy Healthcare Partners of Tampa, Florida under request for proposals (RFP) No. VA-101-09-RP-0123, issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for preconstruction services and optional construction of a VA medical facility in New Orleans, Louisiana. Nova challenges the reasonableness of the evaluation and source selection decision. We deny the protest.
