Allegation that agency misevaluated awardee's proposal is denied where the record shows that the evaluation was reasonable and in accordance with the evaluation c riteria. 2. Award to offeror submitting technically higher-rated, higher-priced proposal is unobjectionable where solicitation stated that price and technical factors were of equal weight and the agency reasonably determined that the proposal's technical superiority warranted payment of the associated price premium.

(ACT) under request for proposals (RFP) No. DACW27-00-R-0006, issued by the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers for seepage remediation at Patoka Lake, Indiana.
