File: B-275319; B-275319.2 Date: February 7, 1997 Alan M. Grayson, Esq., and Ronald B. Vogt, Esq., Alan M. Grayson & Associates, for the protester. Neil Lowenstein, Esq., and Howard W. Roth III, Esq., Vandeventer, Black, Meredith & Martin, for States Roofing Corporation, an intervenor. Diane D. Hayden, Esq., George N. Brezna, Esq., and Patrick J.
