Crown Laundry and Cleaners (Crown) and Tri-States Service Company (Tri-States) request reconsideration of our decision in the matter of Crown Laundry and Cleaners, B-196118, January 30, 1980, 80-1 CPD 82, in which we recommend that a solicitation for a fixed price requirements type contract to operate Government- owned laundry facilities for laundry services currently being performed by Government personnel at Fort Ord, California, be cancelled and readvertised under appli- cable Defense Acquisition Regulation (CAR) provisions cited in that decision. It was our view that the solicitation was defective because it failed to ade- quately express the Army's intent to consider option prices in the bid price evaluation. The solicitation requested prices for an initial 1-year contract period and included an option for two additional 1-year periods. Although the solici- tation did not request separate option prices, Crown effectively increased those prices by successively lowering theprompt payment discounts it offered for the second and third performance years. The solici- tation did not provide for the evaluation of option prices. The solicitation also contained a provision advising bidders of the evaluation method the Govern- ment intended to use for cost comparison in evalua- tion of Government and contracting costs. Under that provision, award was to be made only if the contracting costs for three years were found to be lower than the Government's in-house operating costs.
