Book excerpt: The Metropolitan Washington Airports Act of 1986 transferred operating responsibility for Dulles and Reagan National Airports from the federal government to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA), an independent, nonfederal, public entity. MWAA, which has a 50-year lease to run the two airports, has entered into a wide range of contracts for supplies, construction, and other services. Although MWAA issued guidance in 1993 for the awarding of contracts and concession franchises, GAO found that the guidance does not adequately reflect competitive contracting principles and is out of date in many respects. Moreover, MWAA does not use its guidance to award contracts for non-concession goods and services. MWAA did not obtain full and open competition for 15 of the 35 contracts GAO reviewed, raising concerns about whether MWAA obtained the best value for the goods and services provided. The failure to obtain full and open competition also raises concerns about whether MWAA has (1) deprived prospective contractors of the chance to compete for contracts and (2) fairly evaluated all of the contractors that have competed for procurements. Finally, by not following recognized competitive principles, MWAA could be giving the appearance of favoritism in its contracting decisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO reviewed the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority's (MWAA) contracting practices. GAO found that: (1) the MWAA process for awarding contracts for goods, services, and construction projects is competitive but highly focused on soliciting vendors in the Washington, D.C. area; (2) MWAA awarded firm, fixed-price contracts for goods, services, and construction to the lowest bidder that met the required technical specifications and standards described in the solicitation; (3) in some instances, MWAA used a two-step solicitation method for design and construction contracts by requesting and evaluating the qualifications of prospective contractors before issuing the solicitation; (4) MWAA awarded architectural/engineering service contracts after evaluating each bidder's capability and qualifications to perform the services; (5) some of the criteria used to evaluate proposals could be interpreted as unnecessarily restrictive by potential bidders; (6) existing MWAA contracting policies do not establish who is responsible for deciding whether solicitation evaluation criteria are appropriate; (7) 23 percent of the contracts reviewed were appropriately awarded as sole-source contracts; (8) announcements for contracts were routinely published in a newspaper, but only two were published outside the Washington, D.C., area; (9) solicitations for concession services contracts are advertised both nationally and locally because of the need to attract national businesses; and (10) MWAA has not published its procedures for awarding contracts.
