This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: McDonald Construction Services, Inc. File: B-285980; B-285980.2 Date: October 25, 2000 Thomas E. Abernathy IV, Esq., Smith, Currie & Hancock, for the protester. Robert A. Emmanuel, Esq., Emmanuel, Sheppard & Condon, for Greenhut Construction Services, Inc., the intervenor. Thomas W. Burt, Esq., and Larry E. Beall, Esq., U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for the agency. Aldo A. Benejam, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protester's contention that the agency unreasonably evaluated its proposal because it was downgraded under three separate evaluation areas for the same deficiency is denied, where the record shows that the agency evaluated the protester's proposal in accordance with the criteria announced in the solicitation, the criteria assessed separate aspects of the proposals, and the deficiencies noted reasonably related to all three evaluation areas at issue. DECISION McDonald Construction Services, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Greenhut Construction Services, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. DACA01-00-R- 0009, issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the construction of a hospital central energy plant at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. McDonald challenges the evaluation of its proposal and contends that the agency improperly conducted discussions with the awardee, while it failed to conduct similar discussions with McDonald. We deny the protest.
