This version has been redacted or approved by the parties involved for public release. Matter of: Laidlaw Environmental Services (GS), Inc. File: B-271903 Date: August 6, 1996 William E. Hughes III, Esq., Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek S.C., for the protester. Amy M. Steed, Esq., Diane D. Hayden, Esq., and George N. Brezna, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Aldo A. Benejam, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protester's contention that in selecting the awardee's proposal for disposing of hazardous and nonhazardous waste the source selection board applied an unannounced evaluation criterion--proximity of proposed disposal facilities to sites covered by the solicitation--is denied where proximity of proposed disposal facilities was reasonably encompassed by the stated evaluation factors concerning technical approach and method of operation. 2. Protester's contention that the technical evaluation board (TEB) improperly evaluated proposals is denied where the record shows that the TEB evaluated in accordance with the criteria announced in the solicitation, and the record reasonably supports the evaluators' conclusions. 3. Award to offeror submitting a higher-rated, slightly higher-cost proposal is unobjectionable where the evaluation scheme announced in the solicitation gave more weight to the technical area than to cost, and the source selection board reasonably concluded that the awardee's superior proposal was worth the premium. DECISION Laidlaw Environmental Services (GS), Inc., the incumbent, protests the award of a contract to Philip Environmental National Services, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. N44255-95-R-6173, issued by the Engineering Field Activity, Northwest, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, for hazardous and nonhazardous waste disposal from the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Washington State. The protester contends that the agency deviated from the announced evaluation scheme and improperly evaluated the competing proposals.
