Matter of: Coastal Environmental Group, Inc. File: B-407563; B-407563.3; B-407563.4 Date: January 14, 2013 Brian W. Craver, Esq., Person & Craver LLP, for the protester. Sara McGraw, Esq., Environmental Protection Agency, for the agency. Laura Mann Eyester, Esq., for the Small Business Administration. Kenneth Kilgour, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that the awardee's bid was nonresponsive to the invitation for bid's key personnel experience requirements is denied where such a requirement was related to bidder responsibility, not bid responsiveness, and we see no merit to the protester's claims that the bid took exception to the requirements, DECISION Coastal Environmental Group, Inc., of Edgewood, New York, protests the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) award of a contract to PK Management Group, of Miami, Florida, under invitation for bids (IFB) No. SOL-R7-12-00016, for remediation of lead contaminated soil in Omaha, Nebraska. The protester asserts that the awardee's bid was nonresponsive and ineligible for award. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The solicitation, set aside for section 8(a) small business firms, sought bids to perform environmental remediation services for residential properties within the Omaha Lead Superfund Site, in Omaha, Nebraska. The IFB provided for the award of a fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with performance incentives, for a 1-year base period with three 1-year options, to the lowest bidder who is deemed to be both a responsible and responsive bidder. IFB § M-2.
