handle is hein.gao/gaocrptakyu0001 and id is 1 raw text is: -e GeAtOa __Comptroller General of the United States United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Davies Rail & Mechanical Works Inc. File: B-283911.2 Date: March 6, 2000 Angela Schnuerle for the protester. Kenneth M. Homick, Esq., and Richard G. Welsh, Esq., Naval Facilities Engineering Command, for the agency. Wm. David Hasfurther, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Protester's contention that the agency failed to conduct meaningful discussions is denied where the record shows the agency posed questions in the areas in which it was concerned that the proposal needed amplification and improvement. 2. Agency's selection of the proposal of an offeror whose price was less than 1 percent higher than the protester's, in view of that firm's better past performance references, more extensive experience with applicable quality control program, and in-house design and fabrication capability, was reasonable where the solicitation provided for the award to the proposal that represented the best value to the government. DECISION Davies Rail & Mechanical Works Inc. protests the award of a contract to Ederer Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. N62472-98-R-1648, issued by the Navy Crane Center (NCC), Naval Facilities Engineering Command, for the purchase of four cranes and the refurbishment of another crane at the submarine base in Bangor, Washington. Davies contends that as the low priced offeror, it should have received the award, and that the decision that Ederer's proposal offered the best value, notwithstanding its higher price, was unreasonable. We deny the protest.
