handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaqti0001 and id is 1 raw text is: A G A O Comptroller General . Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability 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: Cooperativa Muratori Riuniti File: B-294980; B-294980.2 Date: January 21, 2005 Reed L. von Maur, Esq., for the protester. Susan L. Schor, Esq., and Laurence Schor, Esq., McManus, Schor, Asmar & Darden, for Impresa Pizzarotti & C. S.p.A., an intervenor. Damon Martin, Esq., and Shivaun White, Esq., Naval Facilities Engineering Command, for the agency. Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. In evaluating proposals for construction work, agency has not provided a reasonable basis for distinguishing between offerors' experience in performing multiple projects at multiple sites under a single contract and offerors' experience in performing multiple projects at multiple sites under multiple contracts, particularly where solicitation called for performance at two separate work sites. 2. Protest against evaluation of past performance is sustained where record reveals that protester's past performance was re-rated by the evaluators on a different scale and in response to different questions than those posed to the references, and it is not clear that the new ratings were reasonably based. 3. Evaluators reasonably rated protester's proposed construction schedule as good, as opposed to excellent, where they determined that protester had offered an accelerated schedule, but had failed to offer evidence that it had thought through the implications of that schedule with regard to matters such as staffing. DECISION Cooperativa Muratori Riuniti (CMR) protests the evaluation of its proposal and the award of a contract to Impresa Pizzarotti & C. S.p.A. (Pizzarotti) under request for proposals (RFP) No. N33191-04-R-4004, issued by the Department of the Navy for construction of two facilities at Aviano Air Force Base in Italy. The protester takes issue with the agency's evaluation of its technical proposal. We sustain the protest.
