The embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, has selected Constellis Triple Canopy to provide logistical and protective support services. Gonzales claims that although the agency claimed that the proposed price for the company was too high, Gonzales states that it did not address the issue and that it did not explain its role in the joint venture partnership on the incumbent contract. Constellis Triple Canopy’s retention plans significantly improved this proposal, the agency claims.
Gonzales claims the agency failed to address its role as joint venture partner in the contract incumbent.
Gonzales appeals, arguing that the agency failed to adequately discuss its role in joint venture partners and failed evaluate its competitors' performance. Triple Canopy insists that the discussions were productive and tailored to each offeror. Accordingly, the agency didn't violate any contract provision or statute. Gonzales claims that its performance in the past was comparable to Triple Canopy, which is the agency's joint venture partner under the incumbent contract.
Protester also claims that the agency's assessment was incorrectly flawed as it relied upon a flawed technical evaluation. The agency failed to adequately document its assessment of Gonzales's past performance, and did not adequately discuss its role as a joint venture partner on the incumbent contract. It claims that the selection process was fair and well documented.
Gonzales claims Triple Canopy was told by the agency that its cost was too high
Gonzales claims that the agency failed to recognize the risk associated with its price and incorrectly attributed disparate treatment of the company. Gonzales claims its own employees received bonuses that were different from the agency's. Gonzales claims his agent advised him that his cost was too high. Triple Canopy however maintains that its employees did not get the same treatment.
The contracting agent was not required to raise past performance concerns during negotiations. Gonzales claims that Triple Canopy's price was too high because the agency failed to account for Centerra’s part as a partner in a joint venture of 70%. The contracting officer was not obligated to bring up past performance issues during discussions. However, the agency provided information to the contracting officer to enhance its understanding.
Constellis Triple Canopy revised its retention plan to make it more appealing
The agency received four proposals prior to its proposal due date. They established a competitive range then had discussions with three: Triple Canopy (Gonzales), Triple Canopy (unnamed third offeror). The agency did not alter its ratings throughout these discussions. Triple Canopy conducted a debriefing, but did not protest the protest. The agency did not make a final determination on whether Triple Canopy's revised retention plan significantly improved its proposal.
The company identified three contracts that were exemplary for its past performance. One was a joint venture with FPS in which Triple Canopy owned 70 percent of the company. Another contract was with Department of Energy. The revised retention plan identified the three cases and substantially improved its proposal. The revised proposal contained additional details and a firm commitment for bonuses. Triple Canopy’s revised retention plan was a significant improvement on its original proposal.

How To
How to build a Deer Blind
A deerblind is a type hunting device used for hiding from game animals, such as deer, elk, and so on. The blind consists of a small enclosure, usually made of canvas or wood and often covered with branches and leaves. The hunter will hide inside the enclosure while he waits for his animal to pass. For hunting at night, deer blinds are often used.
Deer blinds come in many shapes and sizes. Some are portable and others are permanent. These structures are usually made of plywood, cardboard, plastic or canvas and metal.
The most common type of deer blinds is box blinds (also known as box stands). These blinds consist of a box made of wood with walls and a roof. Because they are easy-to-assemble and transport, boxes are very popular.
A tree stand is another form of deer blind. Tree stands are designed to look natural so that no one would suspect they were there. Most tree stands are permanently fixed to trees.
Ground blinds are also available, which look similar to tree stand but are built into a ground. Ground blinds may be camouflaged with grass or dirt, rocks, or even sand. Ground blinds also sometimes go by the name "ground boxes".
There are several ways to hunt with deer blinds. Another way to hunt with a deer blind is to simply wait for it to approach. You can also try moving around to scare away the animal. If you decide to use this method, be sure to keep your distance and not move too fast. This could make the animal think you are a predator, and they may run away.
First, find the right spot to place a deer blind. Choose a spot that isn't likely to blow your scent towards animals. Avoid areas where people frequently hike.
Finally, make sure you know how to properly set up the deer blind, because the last thing that you want to happen is for the animal to see you and run away.
