Use of negotiated rather than sealed bidding procedures in procurement for demolition and construction services is proper where the agency, based on performance problems encountered on prior contracts, reasonably determines that discussions might be necessary to ensure that offerors fully understand the importance of timely, quality performance, and that award must be based on technical evaluation factors as well as price.<p/>2. Allegation that it is improper for an agency to rely on information retrieved from an electronic database to evaluate a construction contractor's past performance, without giving protester an opportunity to comment on allegedly negative information in the database, is denied, where the record shows that the protester has previously been given ample opportunities to clarify adverse past performance information in the database, and there is no reason to question the validity of the past performance information. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-286226/html/GAOREPORTS-B-286226.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-286226/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-286226.pdf GAO/B-286226 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-286226 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-286226; TLT Construction Corporation, B-286226, November 7, 2000;
