      MATTER   OF: Joseph Legat ?rchitects


      DIGEST:
          RFP provided that award would be made to offeror
          with best cost/quality ratio, but that judgment
          of selection Board would be applied to insure
          that cost and alt other factors were considered.
          Protest that RFP was deficient because offerors
          were not advised what all otier factors were
          is denied. Phrase clearly refers to elements
          implicitly considered in any solicitation, and
          does not reflect existence of undisclosed evalua-
          tion criteria or improper introduction of new
          criteria.

          Reque3t for proposals (RFP) No. N62472-77-R-0464
     was issued on October 17, 1977, by the Naval Facili-
     ties Engineering Command for the construction of 200
     family housing units in the Portsmouth, New Hampshire,
     Naval Complex.  The procurement was to be conducted
     using the turnkey nethod of construction. Pro-
     posals were due on November 30.
          Paragraph IC.14 of the RFP pr vided that pro-
     posals would be evaluated on the asis of site design,
     site engineering, dwelling unit deiign, and dwelling
     unit engineering, and specifications and cost. The
     evaltation based nn the first four of these criteria,
     which were further described in subparagraphs (A)-(D),
     would result in a quality rating for each proposal.
     Subparagraph (E) stat.3 that a cost/quality ratio
     would then be calculated for each major alternate of a
     proposal by dividing proposed price by quality
     rating.  Subparagraph (E) further provided:
               * * * * The final ranking of proposals by
          cost/quality ratio should norma ly establish
          the proposal having terms most I avorable to
          the Government.  However, the jui-gment of the
          Selection Board will be applied :o insure that
          cost and all other factors are roper.v con-
