This redacted version has been approved for public release. Matter of: Durocher Dock & Dredge/Black & Veatch, A Joint Venture File: B-280853 Date: November 24, 1998 Peter J. Ippolito, Esq., Iillyer & Irwin, for the protester. Mark Christopher, Esq., Ls B. Young, Esq., and George N. Brezna, Esq., Naval Facilities Engineering Command, for the agency. Aldo A. Benejam, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Allegation that agency improperly evaluated protester's proposal is denied where the record shows that the agency evaluated the proposal in accordance with the evaluation factors announced in the solicitation and record reasonably supports protester's overall lower technical rating. 2. Disparities in evaluation ratings among technical evaluators do not establish that the evaluation process was flawed or not rationally based in view of the potential for disparate subjective judgments of different evaluators on the relative strengths and weaknesses of technical proposals. 3. Allegations by protester whose phase one proposal was reasonably ranked eighth, that agency improperly evaluated the first- and fourth-ranked proposals is dismissed where, even if protester's allegations were sustained, protester's proposal would not be eligible to proceed to phase two of the procurement; protester is not an interested party to pursue this aspect of the protest. DECISION Durocher Dock & Dredge/Black & Veatch, A Joint Venture protests the rejection of its proposal under request for proposals (RFP) No. N62467-98-R-0968, issued by the Department of the Navy to improve Wharf D, at the Naval Station in Mayport, Florida. The protester argues that the evaluation of its proposal was inconsistent with the solicitation. We deny the protest.
