handle is hein.gao/gaocrptahvj0001 and id is 1 raw text is: oComptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: RTF/TCI/EAI Joint Venture File: B-280422.3 Date: December 29, 1998 Robert T. Findley for the protester. Craig E. Hodge, Esq., and Terese M. Harrison, Esq., Army Materiel Command, 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 1. Agency evaluation of protester's proposal and oral presentation is reasonable where it was performed in accordance with stated evaluation criteria and reflects valid criticisms of protester's proposed approach. 2. Agency's source selection in which price was considered only in the competitive range determination, while improper, did not prejudice the protester where the awardee's proposal was evaluated as significantly superior to the protester's and the awardee's price was significantly lower than that proposed by the protester. DECISION RTF/TCI/EAI Joint Venture (RTF) protests the award of a contract to Earth Tech, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. DAAA09-97-R-0271, issued by the U.S. Army Industrial Operations Command, for the disposal and decontamination of government property at the Longhorn Army Ammunition Plant (LHAAP). RTF argues that the agency's evaluation and award determination were flawed. We deny the protest. The RFP, issued on October 10, 1997, sought fixed-price proposals on a commercial item basis (see Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12) for the liquidation of personal and installed property and, as necessary, decontamination of property prior to sale. The RFP included a statement of objectives (SO0) (Attachment 001) which outlined the essential tasks that each offeror was to address in its proposed scope of work. Offerors were expected to develop a scope of work with an innovative approach to satisfy the government's SOO requirements. As set forth in the SOO synopsis, the 24-month work effort consisted of: explosive contamination coding; assessing personal property and marketable installed property market value; assessing installed real property salvage value; developing a marketing plan
