handle is hein.gao/gaocrptakye0001 and id is 1 raw text is: -e GeAtOa E Comptroller General of the United States United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Red Road Inc. File: B-283713.2 Date: March 14, 2000 Don Loper for the protester. Daniel N. Hylton, Esq., Department of Agriculture, for the agency. John L. Formica, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency's evaluation of the protester's proposal, which received the lowest technical rating of any of the proposals submitted, was reasonable where the record supports the agency's determination that the pro tester's pro po sal failed in many instances to include information specifically requested by the solicitation and necessary for evaluation purposes. DECISION Red Road Inc. protests the award of a contract to Quigley Bros. under request for proposals (RFP) No. R1-17-99-30, issued by the Forest Service, Department of Agriculture, for certain watershed improvements in the Nez Perce National Forest, Idaho. Red Road contends that the agency's evaluation of its proposal was unreasonable. We deny the protest. The RFP provided for the award of a fixed-price contract to the offeror submitting the proposal determined to be most advantageous to the government under the following evaluation criteria: past performance; production schedule; experience and qualifications of the firm, supervisor, and employees; equipment available; and price. RFP at 65, 70. The solicitation advised offerors that the agency intended to evaluate proposals and award the contract without conducting discussions, and thus offerors should include their best terms from a price and technical standpoint in their initial proposals. RFP at 70.
