          Decision

          Matter of:  Cornerstone Construction Company,  Inc.

          File:       B-402747

          Date:       July 23, 2010

          Julia M.I. Holden, Esq., and Gregory J. Dudek, Esq., Bankston Gronning O'Hara, P.C.,
          for the protester.
          Michael H. Gilbert, Esq., Phillip E. Santerre, Esq., and Carl F. Olson, Esq.,
          Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, for the agency.

          DIGEST

          Protest that the agency failed to recognize that the awardee's proposal deviated from
          the solicitation requirement, and that the agency misevaluated proposals and
          engaged in unequal treatment, is denied where the record shows that the awardee's
          proposal met the requirements of the solicitation and the agency reasonably and
          fairly evaluated proposals in a manner that was consistent with the solicitation.
          DECISION

          Cornerstone Construction Company, Inc., of Anchorage, Alaska, protests the award
          of a contract to Davis Constructors and Engineers, Inc., of Anchorage, Alaska, by the
          Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, under request for proposals (RFP)
          No. W911KB-09-R-0027 for the design and construction of an aero-medical services
          and mental health clinic at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska. Cornerstone argues
          that the Corps overlooked unacceptable aspects of Davis's proposal, misevaluated
          proposals, and engaged in unequal treatment in the evaluation.

          We deny the protest.

          BACKGROUND

          The Corps issued the RFP on September 18, 2009, seeking a contractor to design and
          build a health clinic adjacent to an existing hospital building at Elmendorf Air Force
          Base under a fixed-price contract. The project was a design-build project, where the
          RFP provided design requirements and requested that offerors propose a design
