          Decision

          Matter of: Restoration and Closure Services, LLC

          File:        B-295663.6; B-295663.12

          Date:        April 18, 2005

          William B. Snyder, Esq., and Robert P. Murrian, Esq., Kramer, Rayson, Leake,
          Rodgers & Morgan, LLP, for the protester.
          Andrew P. Hallowell, Esq., Pamela J. Mazza, Esq., and Jennifer M. Morrison, Esq.,
          Piliero, Mazza & Pargament, PLLC, for LATA/Parallax Portsmouth, the intervenor.
          Gena E. Cadieux, Esq., Renee S. Holland, Esq., Joseph A. Lenhard, Esq., and Beth A.
          Kelly, Esq., Department of Energy, for the agency.
          John L. Formica, Esq., Charles W. Morrow, Esq., Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., and
          James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the
          preparation of the decision.
          DIGEST

          1. Consultants' applications for admission to protective order are denied where the
          applications agreed to restrict the consultants' activities only with regard to the
          particular site for the procurement being protested, and thus permitted the
          consultants to engage or assist in the preparation of proposals for the same type of
          work at other sites where a party to the protest may be a competitor.

          2. Protest challenging the agency's evaluation of the protester's proposal on the
          basis that, although the solicitation did not prescribe or suggest a particular
          technical approach, the agency was predisposed towards a particular technical
          solution, is dismissed where there is no reasonable possibility that the protester was
          prejudiced by the alleged unreasonable evaluation because, even if the protester's
          proposal had received the maximum points under the contested areas of evaluation,
          its proposal would have remained lower rated and significantly higher in cost than
          the proposal selected for award.
          DECISION

          Restoration and Closure Services, LLC (RCS) protests the evaluation of its proposal
          and award of a contract to any other firm, under request for proposals (RFP)
