handle is hein.gao/gaocrptapmw0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A 0 Comptroller General SIntegrity Reliability of the United States ~ccountabthty Inert Rea iy United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 Decision Matter of: Dix Corporation File: B-293964 Date: July 13, 2004 Patrick J. Kirby, Esq., Ryan D. Yahne, Esq., and Richard D. Campbell, Esq., Dunn & Black, for the protester. John Breiling, Esq., and Misty Latcu, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Henry J. Gorczycki, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Where a solicitation states that award will be made on the basis of lowest price among quotations found satisfactory under the past performance/experience criteria, but also includes language suggesting that the agency would make a best value selection, including a cost/technical tradeoff if necessary, the solicitation is ambiguous on its face, and a protest of an award made on a lowest price, technically acceptable basis is untimely. 2. Where request for quotations did not include separate evaluation criteria for evaluating the experience of individual key personnel and did not otherwise expressly restrict the consideration of key personnel experience under the corporate experience subfactor, agency properly could consider the individual experience of vendor's key personnel in determining whether the vendor's experience satisfied the requirement for a minimum of 3 years of corporate experience rehabilitating cranes of similar size and scope. DECISION Dix Corporation protests the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' issuance of a purchase order to Service Crane, LLC, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. W9127N-04-Q- 0020, for bridge crane rehabilitation at the powerhouses at Detroit Dam and Big Cliff Dam, Oregon. Dix protests the agency's evaluation and resulting source selection decision. We deny the protest.
