B-292287 1 (2003-07-23)

handle is hein.gao/gaobadiwd0001 and id is 1 raw text is: I & , G A 0 Comptroller General . .Accountability * Integrity Reliability of the United States United States General Accounting 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: R&K Contractors, Inc. File: B-292287 Date: July 23, 2003 Gary R. Sorensen, Esq., for the protester. Ruth Kowarski, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Susan K. McAuliffe, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest of selection of slightly higher-priced proposal with higher-rated past performance is denied where selection decision was consistent with solicitation and reflected a reasonable price/past performance tradeoff. 2. General Accounting Office's granting of an extension of the due date for the protester's comments on the agency report does not waive the timeliness requirements for filing a supplemental protest, and thus new and independent protest issues, first raised in comments submitted more than 10 days after receipt of the agency report on which the issues were based, are dismissed as untimely. DECISION R&K Contractors, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Quantum Contracting, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. GS-08P-03-VJC-0017, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for building alteration services at the Judge Bruce M. Van Sickle Federal Building/Courthouse in Minot, North Dakota. R&K primarily challenges the reasonableness of the agency's unfavorable evaluation of the protester's past performance; the firm also challenges the agency's selection of Quantum's proposal for award based on that proposal's higher-rated past performance rating and slightly higher price. We deny the protest.
