This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Dawco Construction, Inc. File: B-278048.2 Date: January 2, 1998 Richard D. Corona, Esq., and Sean Brew, Esq., Corona & Balistreri, for the protester. Ls B. Young, Esq., Department of the Navy, 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 Where record shows that evaluation was reasonable and consistent with the factors announced in the solicitation, selection of somewhat higher-priced, but much higher-rated proposal was consistent with solicitation that provided that technical factors would be equal in importance with price in the selection of a contractor. DECISION Dawco Construction, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Harper/Nielsen Dillingham Builders (HND) under request for proposals (RFP) No. N68711-96-R-2326, issued by the Department of the Navy for design and construction work on housing units and a housing office and community center. Dawco asserts that the agency's evaluation was unreasonable and that its selection decision was contrary to the stated evaluation factors, giving too much weight to technical factors. We deny the protest. On March 18, 1997, the agency issued the RFP for a firm, fixed-price contract for repair, revitalization, and improvement of 198 family housing units, as well as the design and construction of a new community center and a new housing office at the Shadow Mountain housing complex, serving the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, California. The solicitation provided for award to the offeror whose offer was determined most advantageous to the government, considering price and technical evaluation factors. RFP 1C.1. The RFP listed the following five technical factors in descending order of importance: (1) design and construction; (2) past performance, contractor/architect-engineer (A-E)/subcontractor experience, and qualifications; (3) quality, durability and energy
