          Amanda Brantley for the protester.

          DIGEST

          Protest that agency's evaluation and source selection decision were flawed is denied
          where record shows that the agency's evaluation and source selection decision were
          reasonable and consistent with the solicitation's evaluation factors.
          DECISION

          Mack Mechanical, Inc. (MMI) protests the award of a contract to Lewis & Associates
          Construction Co., Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. SAZ-01-04-25, issued by
          the United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, for the Open Pond
          Rehabilitation Project at recreational campsites in the Conecuh National Forest.
          MMI primarily objects to the agency's evaluation of proposals and the source
          selection decision.

          We deny the protest.

          The RFP was originally issued on July 9, 2004 and contemplated the award of a
          fixed-price contract for the construction of one 6-unit toilet/shower building and a
          parking lot, and the installation and replacement of electrical and water hookups.
          On August 23, award was made to Lewis. After its debriefing on August 27, MMI filed
          a protest with our Office on September 3. Our Office dismissed that protest on
          October 6, after the agency notified us that it had decided to terminate the award to
          Lewis and to amend the solicitation to revise the evaluation factors.

          On October 4, the award to Lewis was terminated, and on November 22 the agency
          issued amendment No. 3 to the solicitation,which revised the evaluation factors.
          Under the amended solicitation, award was to be made to the responsible offeror
