handle is hein.gao/gaocrptafwa0001 and id is 1 raw text is: oComptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Alcan Environmental, Inc. File: B-275859.2 Date: April 11, 1997 Erling T. Johansen, Esq., Davison & Davison, for the protester. Sherry Kinland Kaswell, Esq., and Justin P. Patterson, Esq., Department of the Interior, for the agency. Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest of technical evaluation based upon alleged consideration of improper information by evaluators is denied where there is no evidence of impropriety and record fully supports the evaluation of protester's proposal. In view of reasonableness of evaluation, protester's bias allegations are denied as there is no basis to conclude that agency acted with intent to injure the protester. DECISION Alcan Environmental, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Harding-Lawson Associates/Wilder Construction Company, Joint Venture (HLA/Wilder) under request for proposals (RFP) No. 1422-N660-R96-3005, issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Department of the Interior. Alcan challenges the agency's evaluation based on its allegation that evaluators were biased against the protester. We deny the protest. The RFP sought proposals for hazardous materials disposal in Alaska (the Hazmat Program) under a requirements contract for a base year with two 1-year options. Award was to be made to the offeror whose proposal was most advantageous to the government based upon consideration of the stated evaluation criteria. Proposals were evaluated on the basis of three factors, listed in descending order of importance: technical, cost/price, and business management. Offerors' technical proposals were evaluated on the basis of two factors with related subfactors: technical approach (eight subfactors) and key personnel and past performance (five subfactors). Each subfactor was evaluated on a scale of zero (unsatisfactory) to 10 (excellent) and multiplied by the subfactor's weight. Thus, a perfect score of 745317
