             Matter of: Resource Applications, Inc.

             File:       B-274943.3

             Date:        March 5, 1997

             Jacob B. Pompan, Esq., Gerald H. Werfel, Esq., and Neil H. Ruttenberg, Esq.,
             Pompan, Ruffner & Werfel, for the protester.

             DIGEST

             Allegation that protester's and awardee's consensus evaluation scores did not reflect
             the individual evaluators' scores is denied where the record indicates that the
             consensus reasonably reflects the collective view of the evaluators and the
             characteristics of the proposals, and there is no credible evidence that the
             consensus evaluation was unreasonable.
             DECISION

             Resource Applications, Inc. (RAI) protests the award of a Regional Oversight
             Contract (ROC) to TechLaw, Inc. by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
             under request for proposals (RFP) No. W500823G3, for technical services.

             We deny the protest.

             The RFP, a total small business set-aside, contemplated the award of a cost-plus-
             fixed-fee contract for technical services to support EPA's Federal Facilities
             Revitalization and Reutilization Office in its mission of oversight and enforcement of
             the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
             (CERCLA), and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) at federal
             facilities in EPA Zone 3.1 The RFP contained a detailed statement of work and set
             forth EPA's best estimate of the level-of-effort hours that would be needed. Work
             to be performed under the ROC will be ordered through written work assignments


             1EPA Zone 3 encompasses EPA Region V (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota,
             Ohio, Wisconsin), Region VI (Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas),
             and Region VII (Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska).
