Decision


Matter of: 1400 Chapman, LLC

File:       B-418409; B-418409.2; B-418409.3

Date:       April 15, 2020

David Lewis for the protester.
Seamus Curley, Esq, Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP, for Windward Marina Stuart,
LLC, the intervenor.
Tammi Snyder-Queen, Esq., and Liana D. Henry, Esq., General Services
Administration, for the agency.
Heather Weiner, Esq., and Jennifer D. Westfall-McGrail, Esq., Office of the General
Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST

1. Protest that the agency conducted misleading discussions is denied where the
record reflects that the protester was not misled during discussions, but chose to
increase its proposed price based on its own business judgment.

2. Protest that awardee proposed an inaccurate usable square footage figure to obtain
a competitive advantage in the price evaluation is dismissed as factually and legally
insufficient where argument is based on unsupported assumptions.
DECISION

1400 Chapman, LLC, of El Paso, Texas, protests the General Services Administration's
(GSA) award of a lease to Windward Marina Stuart, LLC, of Aventura, Florida, under
request for lease proposals (RLP) No. 6FL0513, for office space for a federal tenant
agency. The protester challenges the evaluation of proposals and contends that the
agency's discussions were misleading.

We deny the protest in part and dismiss the protest in part.

BACKGROUND

GSA is conducting the procurement on behalf of the Customs and Border Protection's
(CBP) Air and Marine Facilities Program Management Office (PMO). Previously, the
CBP occupied space at the Meridian Marina & Yacht Club, located at 1400 SW
Chapman Way, Palm City Florida, under a lease awarded in November 2017.
