          Decision

          Matter  of:  Clark/Caddell Joint Venture

          File:        B-402055

          Date:        January 7, 2010

          Steven L. Reed, Esq., and Douglas P. Hibshman, Esq., Smith, Currie & Hancock, LLP,
          for the protester.
          Susan L. Schor, Esq., and Laurence Schor, Esq., for B.L. Harbert International, Inc.,
          an intervenor.
          Charles L. Webster III, Esq., Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, for the
          agency.
          Linda C. Glass, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
          participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Agency reasonably concluded that protester's proposal was technically
          unacceptable under the performance capability evaluation factor where protester's
          proposal contained a conflict with regards to contract duration and the contract
          duration actually listed in the contractually binding schedule was considered to be
          unreasonably short and posed a high risk that the contract would not be completed
          successfully.

          2. Protest that agency failed to provide meaningful discussions is denied where the
          protester was advised of the deficiency in its proposal and failed to respond to the
          agency's concerns.
          DECISION

          Clark/Caddell Joint Venture of Tampa, Florida, protests the award of a task order to
          B.L. Harbert (Harbert) International, Inc., of Birmingham, Alabama, under request
          for task order proposals (RFP) No. W9126G-08-D-0051/0052/0053, Task Order 0002,
          issued by the Army Corps of Engineers for the design and construction of a barracks
          complex and related structures, to include a parking garage, at Fort Bragg, North
