This redacted version has Decision been approvedforpublic release. Matter of: Williams Building Company, Inc. File: B-413262.2; B-413262.3 Date: November 15, 2016 John M. Manfredonia, Esq., and Jim Peterson, Esq., Manfredonia Law Offices, LLC, for the protester. Maureen A. McAndrew, Esq., and Madeline Shay, Esq., Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, for the agency. Katherine I. Riback, Esq., Nora K. Adkins, Esq., and Amy B. Pereira, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST In a procurement conducted under the two-phase design-build selection procedures of Federal Acquisition Regulation subpart 36.3, protest of an agency's evaluation of the protester's phase 1 proposal and its decision to exclude the protester from phase 2 is denied where the agency's evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with the solicitation's evaluation criteria. DECISION Williams Building Company, Inc., a small business, of South Yarmouth, Massachusetts, protests the exclusion of its proposal from phase 2 of a two-phase design-build competition under request for proposals (RFP) No. W912DR-16-R- 0001, issued by the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, for construction projects. Williams argues that the agency improperly evaluated its phase 1 proposal and unreasonably eliminated it from the competition. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP was issued on October 23, 2015, under the two-phase design-build provisions of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), subpart 36.3 and contemplated the award of indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ), multiple-award task order contracts (MATOCs), for design-build (DB) and design/bid/build (DBB) construction projects in support of the Department of Defense and other federal agencies.
