Comptroller General Washington, DC 20548 of the United States ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to Decision a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has 1been approved for public release. Matter of: C.1. Lovell, Inc. File: B-418935.2 Date: August 21, 2020 Michael S. Bissell, Esq., and Tyler S. Waite, Esq., Campbell & Bissell, PLLC, for the protester. Alexandra M. Pollack, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Raymond Richards, Esq., and Laura Eyester, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Request for recommendation of reimbursement of the costs of filing and pursuing a protest is denied where the agency did not unduly delay taking corrective action, i.e., the corrective action was taken before the due date for the agency report. DECISION C.1. Lovell, Inc., a small business of Harrah, Washington, requests that our Office recommend that it be reimbursed for the costs of pursuing its protest challenging the decision of the Department of the Army, Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to exclude its quotation from consideration for award under request for quotations (RFQ) No. W912DW20Q801 0 for various equipment and equipment operations services for use at the Mud Mountain Dam Federal Project near Enumclaw, Washington. The requester argues that our Office should recommend reimbursement of costs because the Corps has now taken corrective action in response to C.I. Lovell's protest with our Office, but refused to take action in response to C.I. Lovell's agency-level inquiry, which prompted C.I. Lovell to file a protest with GAO, and incur fees and costs associated with filing and pursuing the protest. We deny the request. On July 16, 2020, C.I. Lovell filed a protest with our Office, docketed as B-418935, challenging the Corps's decision to exclude its quotation from award consideration. Five days after the protest was filed, the agency submitted a notice of corrective action and requested dismissal of the protest. Agency Resp. to Req. for Costs at 2. On
