         File:       B-401775

         Date:       November  5, 2009

         James I. Mangi for the protester.
         David Blaha, Environmental Resources Management, for the intervenor.
         Janis P. Rodriguez, Esq., and Ryan M. Kabacinski, Esq., Maritime Administration, for
         the agency.
         Paul E. Jordan, Esq., and John M. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO,
         participated in the preparation of the decision.
         DIGEST

         Agency reasonably assigned weaknesses in evaluating protester's quotation where
         quotation included generic approach outline, without any information on how
         protester would meet statement of work requirements, and failed to provide clear
         delineation of proposed team member roles in performing work.
         DECISION

         The Mangi Environmental Group, Inc., of McLean, Virginia, protests the issuance of a
         delivery order to Environmental Resources Management (ERM), of Annapolis,
         Maryland, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. DTMA 359751, issued by the
         Department of Transportation (DOT), Maritime Administration (MARAD) for
         environmental assessment services.

         We deny the protest.

         MARAD   is responsible for maintaining the National Defense Reserve Fleet and is
         investigating the construction of a mooring facility at its Beaumont (Texas) Reserve
         Fleet (BRF) site. The RFQ sought quotations for preparation of an environmental
         assessment (EA) to identify and assess the potential environmental impacts
         associated with construction of and traffic along an access road (on either of two
         approaches), construction and operation of layberthing facilities, delivery of utility
         services, well drilling, and potential office space at the BRF. The analysis was also
         to include an assessment of dredging the approaches and proposed pier location to
         accommodate  the required water depth.
