handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaemr0001 and id is 1 raw text is: oComptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE A protected decision was issued on the date below and was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This version has been redacted or approved by the parties involved for public release. Matter of: OHM Remediation Services Corporation File: B-274644; B-274644.2; B-274644.3 Date: December 23, 1996 Joseph G. Billings, Esq., and Lawrence P. Block, Esq., Riley and Artabane, for the protester. Shlomo D. Katz, Esq., and Kenneth B. Weckstein, Esq., Epstein, Becker & Green, P.C., and Ronald N. Stewart, for ICF Kaiser Engineers, Inc., an intervenor. Clark J. Hulce, Esq., and Carl Korman, Esq., Corps of Engineers, for the agency. C. Douglas McArthur, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Where record shows that evaluation of protester's proposal was reasonable and consistent with the criteria established by the solicitation, the protester's mere disagreement with the evaluation provides no basis for sustaining a protest. 2. Where evaluation standards, used in evaluation of proposals for environmental restoration contract, listed criteria for assigning the appropriate adjectival rating under each evaluation subfactor and subsubfactor, rating of the awardee's proposal as excellent under five subsubfactors was not unreasonable simply because proposal failed to meet one listed criterion for an excellent rating, where there is no allegation or evidence that the proposal did not meet the remaining criteria for an excellent rating. 3. Where protester waited a month after receipt of agency report to provide detailed basis for protest of its own evaluation, the protest is untimely despite an earlier protest that broadly challenged the evaluation as inconsistent with the protester's superior experience in similar contracts; such detailed grounds constitute new and independent allegations which must independently satisfy timeliness requirements. 4. Protest that agency improperly failed to conduct a price/technical tradeoff is denied where, in selecting a higher-rated offeror, selection officials reasonably determined that offerors were essentially equal in price. 15618
