         Decision


         Matter of: Beldon Roofing Company

         File:      B-283970

         Date:      January 28, 2000

         James D. Rosenblatt, Esq., for the protester.
         J. Hatcher Graham, Esq., for R.L. Campbell Roofing Company, an intervenor.
         Marilyn W. Johnson, Esq., and Richard G. Welsh, Esq., Department of the Navy, for
         the agency.
         Linda C. Glass, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
         GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         Agency conclusion that award to bidder that proposed relatively high prices for
         removal of old roofs and relatively low prices for installation of new roofing systems
         did not represent a risk to the government is unobjectionable where the
         reasonableness of the estimated quantities is not in question, the agency expects to
         order removal and installation together, and the awardee's evaluated price is
         significantly lower than the protester's.
         DECISION

         Beldon Roofing Company protests the award of a contract to R.L. Campbell Roofing
         Company (Campbell) under invitation for bids (IFB) No. N62467-99-B-3149, issued by
         the Department of the Navy for the repair and replacement of roofs at the Pensacola
         Naval Region, Pensacola, Florida and Naval facilities in Mobile, Alabama. Beldon
         contends that Campbell's bid is unbalanced and cannot properly form the basis for
         c o ntrac t aw ard.

         We deny the protest.

         The IFB, issued on July 9, 1999, contemplated the award of a fixed-price,
         indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (JDJQ) contract for a base period with four
         1-year options. IFB § 01200. Contract line item number (CLIN) 0004 and related sub-
         CLINs of the IFB required contractors to remove modified bitumen roofing and to
         install new modified bitumen roofing. CLIN 0007 and related sub-CLINs required the
         removal of existing aluminum standing seam roofing and the installation of new
