          Decision

          Matter of: Millar Elevator Service Company

          File:        B-284870.5; B-284870.6

          Date:        January 31, 2001

          Susan L. Schor, Esq., McManus, Schor, Asmar & Darden, for the protester.
          Jeffrey S. Baird, Esq., Bewley, Lassleben & Miller, for Amtech Elevator Services, an
          intervenor.
          Robert J. McCall, Esq., General Services Administration, for the agency.
          Mary G. Curcio, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
          participated in the preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. During reevaluation of proposals (which was part of corrective action in response
          to protest against award), agency's failure to consider negative information regarding
          awardee's performance of contract following initial award is unobjectionable, where
          performance problem involved only one aspect of contract, awardee corrected the
          problem, and references awardee submitted with its proposal rated its past
          performance excellent.

          2. Protest that awardee's evaluation score included points for items that were
          eliminated from the solicitation is denied where record shows that the agency did
          not consider these items in the final evaluation and award decision.

          3. Protest that evaluator was biased in favor of awardee is denied where protester
          did not present any credible evidence of bias and, in any case, failed to show that any
          bias negatively affected the protester's competitive position.
          DECISION

          Millar Elevator Service Company protests the award of a contract to Amtech
          Elevator Services under solicitation for offers (SFO) No. GS-03P-00-CDC-0006, issued
          by the General Services Administration (GSA) for elevator modernization and
          maintenance in the Moorhead Federal Building in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Millar
          complains that GSA performed an unreasonable evaluation of its and Amtech's
          technical proposals, and that one of the evaluators was biased in favor of Amtech.
