handle is hein.gao/gaocrptahsv0001 and id is 1 raw text is: oComptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE The decision issued on the date below was subject to a I GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Consolidated Engineering Services, Inc File: B-279565.2; B-279565.3 Date: June 26, 1998 Thomas J. Madden, Esq., Jerome S. Gabig, Jr., Esq., and Johana A. Reed, Esq., Venable, Baetjer, Howard & Civiletti, for the protester. Jacob B. Pompan, Esq., and Gerald H. Werfel, Esq., Pompan, Murray, Ruffner & Werfel, for Halifax Technical Services, Inc., an intervenor. Richard A. Marchese, Esq., Department of Housing & Urban Development, for the agency. David A. Ashen, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protest is sustained where (1) protester argues that agency's relative assessment of proposals improperly failed to reflect specific beneficial features that allegedly made its proposal superior to awardee's, (2) it appears from record that the features in fact may have offered some significant benefit, and (3) the agency only generally asserts that the evaluation took the features offered by all offerors into consideration, without explaining or providing evidence showing why the protester's proposed features did not result in a superior score for protester's proposal under the relevant evaluation factor. 2. Agency improperly downgraded protester's proposal relative to awardee's based on awardee's more detailed description of proposed elevator maintenance subcontractor's experience; since protester and awardee proposed same subcontractor, they should have received same score for subcontractor's experience. DECISION Consolidated Engineering Services, Inc. (CESI) protests the Department of Housing & Urban Development's (HUD) award of a contract to Halifax Technical Services, Inc., under request for proposals (RFP) No. DU100C000018529, for commercial facilities management services with respect to the HUD headquarters building in Washington, D.C. CESI challenges the evaluation results. We sustain the protest.
