handle is hein.gao/gaocrptauin0001 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: C. Young Construction, Inc. File: B-309740; B-309740.2 Date: October 15, 2007 David T. Ralston, Jr., Esq., and Frank S. Murray, Esq., Foley & Lardner LLP, for the protester. Damon A. Martin, Esq., Naval Facilities Engineering Command, for the agency. Susan K. McAuliffe, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging agency's evaluation of protester's proposal is denied where evaluation was reasonable and consistent with solicitation's evaluation terms. DECISION C. Young Construction, Inc. protests the rejection of its proposal and the award of a contract to Sauer, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. N69450-07-R-1266, issued by the Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, for the construction of the P333V Fleet Support Facility at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida. The project involves the construction of a sensitive compartmented information facility; optional work includes installation of a parking lot, sidewalks, and sanitary service. C. Young challenges the reasonableness of the agency's evaluation of its proposal, rated as poor, and its subsequent elimination from further consideration for award for proposing a single individual to fill three of the four required key personnel positions. The protester contends that the RFP did not prohibit its proposed staffing approach and that the agency unreasonably determined that its proposal of one individual for multiple key personnel positions failed to meet stated requirements. We deny the protest. The RFP, issued on May 10, 2007, contemplated the award of a fixed-price contract to the firm submitting the proposal deemed to offer the best value to the agency; technical merit (evaluated under four equally weighted technical subfactors--past performance, relevant experience, technical qualifications, and small business subcontracting) was approximately equal in importance to price. RFP at 24, 25.
