handle is hein.gao/gaocrptapkz0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A 0 Comptroller General SIntegrity Reliability of the United States ~ccountabthty Inert Rea iy United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Keeton Corrections, Inc.-Costs File: B-293348.3 Date: October 25, 2004 John G. DeGooyer, Esq., and David T. Ralston, Esq., Foley & Lardner, for the protester. Tracey L. Printer, Esq., Federal Bureau of Prisons, for the agency. Henry J. Gorczycki, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Request that GAO recommend the amount in protest costs the successful protester should be allowed to recover is denied where the claim was filed with the contracting agency more than 60 days after protester's counsel received a protected copy of the protest decision; protester's filing of a request for reconsideration did not toll the period for filing its claim, and there is no evidence of a compelling reason beyond the control of the protester which prevented the protester from timely filing the claim. DECISION Keeton Corrections, Inc. requests that we recommend the amount it should be allowed to recover from the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), for filing and pursuing its protest in Keeton Corrections, Inc., B-293348, Mar. 4, 2004, 2004 CPD . In that decision, we sustained Keeton's protest against BOP's award of a contract to provide a residential Comprehensive Sanction Center in Nashville, Tennessee, and we recommended, among other things, that BOP reimburse the protester's cost of filing and pursuing its protest. In this regard, citing the requirement in our Bid Protest Regulation, 4 C.F.R. § 21.8(f)(1) (2004), our decision directed as follows: The protester should submit its certified claim for such costs, detailing the time expended and costs incurred, directly with the agency within 60 days of receiving this decision. Keeton Corrections, Inc., su-Dr, at 12. We dismiss the request because the protester did not file its certified claim for costs within 60 days of receipt of our decision.
