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: Park Tower Management Ltd. File: B-295589; B-295589.2 Date: March 22, 2005 J. Randolph MacPherson, Esq., Michael J. Noonan, Esq., and James S. DelSordo, Esq., Halloran & Sage LLP, for the protester. Benjamin N. Thompson, Esq., and Jennifer M. Miller, Esq., Wyrick Robbins Yates & Ponton LLP, for LB&B Associates, Inc., an intervenor. Ruth Kowarski, Esq., GSA-Public Buildings Service, for the agency. Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Where solicitation for building maintenance services provided for evaluation of comparability of buildings under prior maintenance contracts to building under solicited requirement, including equipment maintained, agency reasonably determined that awardee's building was comparable, despite fact that equipment awardee maintained was located in adjacent building, not in building submitted for consideration. 2. Evaluation of offerors' preventative maintenance plans was unobjectionable where neither offeror's plan included all required information, and agency scored protester's plan more favorably because it contained more information than awardee's. 3. Where offeror proposed to hire specific individuals employed by incumbent contractor, but failed to include required qualification and other information, agency reasonably considered information from outside proposal to fill in gaps. 4. Protester's allegation that agency improperly held discussions only with awardee after submission of final revised proposals is denied where record shows that contracting officer communicated with awardee only to clarify status of its commitments from proposed personnel.
