handle is hein.gao/gaocrptamom0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A 0 Comptroller General SIntegrity Reliability of the United States ~ccountabthty Inert Rea iy United States General Accounting 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: FC Construction Company, Inc. File: B-287059 Date: April 10, 2001 Garreth E. Shaw, Esq., for the protester. Sharon A. Jenks, Esq., and Gary M. Jackson, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Ralph 0. White, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protester's challenge to the agency's assessment of past and present performance is denied where the record shows that the agency evaluation was reasonable, and that offerors were treated equally, despite insignificant differences in the agency's approach to gathering the information due to requests from the protester's references. 2. Protester's assertion that the agency wrongly transcribed the telephonic responses of commercial references identified by the protester's subcontractor is denied where the commercial references apparently declined to make themselves available for a hearing that would permit assessment of the relative credibility of witnesses whose version of the same event is in conflict. DECISION FC Construction Company, Inc. protests the award of a contract to TRECO Services, Inc. pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. 41614-00-R0003, issued by the Department of the Air Force for base custodial services at Goodfellow Air Force Base (AFB), San Angelo, Texas. FC argues that the Air Force improperly evaluated its past performance, and that of the awardee, TRECO, leading the contracting officer to wrongly conclude that TRECO's higher-priced proposal offered the greatest value to the government. We deny the protest.
