         Date:        April 17, 2015

         Martha L. Boyd, Esq., Darwin A. Hindman III, Esq., and Raquel N. Parker, Esq.,
         Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, PC, for the protester.
         Kathryn R. Sommerkamp, Esq., Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, for
         the agency.
         Eric M. Ransom, Esq., and Edward Goldstein, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.

         guarantee a specific level of cost savings that will be sufficient to pay for the
         improvements over the term of the contract. Savings must exceed payments in
                                                                            (continued...)
