handle is hein.gao/gaobadbfg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A 0 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: ZAFER Construction Company File: B-401871.4 Date: February 1, 2010 Sam Z. Gdanski, Esq., Gdanski & Gdanski, LLP, for the protester. Patrick D. Bowman, 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 Protest challenging agency's corrective action, which included terminating the awarded contract and allowing all offerors whose proposals were in the competitive range to submit a revised proposal, is denied where the agency reasonably concluded that offerors should be given the opportunity to submit completely revised proposals because the time lapse since proposals were first submitted suggests that the original price proposals may no longer accurately reflect the cost of the project. DECISION ZAFER Construction Company, of Ankara, Turkey, protests the terms of corrective action announced by the Department of the Army, Army Corps of Engineers, in response to earlier protests filed by Contrack International, Inc., of McLean, Virginia. Contrack had protested the decision to award a contract to ZAFER, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W917PM-09-R-0075 for design and construction of an ammunition supply point at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. In this protest, ZAFER objects to the Army's plan to allow competitive range offerors to submit completely revised proposals, including price revisions, instead of limiting the revisions solely to the project management plan evaluation factor issue. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP was issued on May 25, 2009, and provided for a best value evaluation on the basis of the following factors listed in descending order of importance:
