Magrini, Esq., and Sarah Brockhaus, Esq., Hayes Magrini & Gatewood, for the protester. David A. Rose, Esq., Rose Consulting Law Firm, LLC, for HGL Construction, Inc., an intervenor. Matthew R. Keiser, Esq., Lauren Williams, Esq., Ronald Goodeyon, Esq., Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, for the agency. Peter D. Verchinski, Esq., and Nora K. Adkins, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest challenging agency's price evaluation is denied where the evaluation was based on the offerors' price proposals for an initial seed project task order, in accordance with the solicitation, and where the agency reasonably found the awardee's price, as well as the awardee's rates, to be fair and reasonable. 2. Protest challenging agency's determination that the proposals of the protester and awardee were technically equal is denied where the agency's evaluation considered the qualitative aspects of each proposal and was not based upon a mechanical counting of the strengths and weaknesses. DECISION Southwind Construction Services, LLC, of Edmond, Oklahoma, protests the award of a contract to HGL Construction, Inc., of Midwest City, Oklahoma, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W912BV-14-R-0064, which was issued by the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers, for various design build and construction services within the Corps' southwestern division boundaries, and the Tulsa district. Southwind argues that the agency failed to conduct the price evaluation consistent with the RFP's stated evaluation criteria, and that the agency conducted an unequal and unreasonable technical evaluation. We deny the protest.
