          Matter of:  International Roofing & Building Construction, Inc.

          File:       B-292833

          Date:       November  17, 2003

          Neal K. Aoki, Esq., Koshiba Agena & Kubota, for the protester.
          William A. Alicar, for Allied Pacific Builders, Inc., an intervenor.
          Ron R. Ashlock, Esq., and Richard G. Welsh, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the
          agency.
          Katherine I. Riback, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General
          Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          Agency reasonably downgraded the protester's lower-priced proposal because it
          lacked a required plan to identify, list, and sample lead paint, and, to test lead paint

          for the award of an indefinite-quantity contract or contracts for a 1-year base period
          with options to extend the term of the contract up to 60 months. The subject
          contracts are for roof installation and repairs at various locations on Oahu, Hawaii.
          One provision in the contracts is a specific requirement for identifying, listing and
          sampling hazardous waste materials, such as lead paint, and the testing of lead paint
          surfaces.

          The RFP advised that the offers would be evaluated for award based on the equally
          weighted evaluation factors of price and technical. The technical factor was
