Thomas Co., Inc. File: B-283192 Date: October 20, 1999 Marc Lamer, Esq., Kostos and Lamer, for the protester. Robert J. McCall, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency. Peter A. Jannicelli, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.

(Thomas) protests that request for proposals (RFP) No. GS- 03P-99-AZD-0047, issued by the General Services Administration (GSA) for repairs and alterations to government buildings, is defective because its evaluation scheme does not include evaluation of price or cost to the government. We sustain the protest. Issued on May 28, 1999, the RFP solicited proposals for fixed-price indefinite- quantity contracts for general repair and alteration services, with design/build capabilities, at government facilities in Philadelphia and surrounding Pennsylvania counties, southern New Jersey, and Delaware.

RFP amend. 1, 8, at 3. The fixed-price contracts will be for base periods of I year with options for 4 additional years. Id. 13, at 5. All work will be performed pursuant to delivery orders that may, at the discretion of the contracting officer, be competed among the awardees. RFP vol. I,
