Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office DOCUMENT FOR PUBLIC RELEASE Washington, DC 20548 The decision issued on the date below was subject to a GAO Protective Order. This redacted version has been approved for public release. Decision Matter of: Shaw Environmental, Inc. File: B-297294 Date: December 2, 2005 Richard L. Moorhouse, Esq., and David T. Hickey, Esq., Greenberg Traurig, LLP, for the protester. Capt. Geraldine Chanel, Department of the Army, 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 1. Where solicitation was clear on applicable requirements and responses to offerors' questions were consistent with those requirements, agency had no duty to amend the solicitation to clarify protester's unilateral misinterpretation of solicitation. 2. Agency was not required to hold discussions to allow protester to make its proposal technically acceptable where solicitation advised offerors of the possibility of award without discussions. DECISION Shaw Environmental, Inc. protests its elimination from the competitive range and the award of a contract to Clayton Group Services, Inc. under request for proposals (RFP) No. W91ZLK-05-R-0009, issued by the Department of the Army for environmental restoration services in California. Shaw asserts that the agency improperly concluded that its proposal was technically unacceptable, misled it, and improperly failed to conduct discussions. We deny the protest. The RFP contemplated the award of a fixed-price contract, for a period of 10 years, to provide environmental restoration services to remediate the Joint Forces Training Base at Los Alamitos and Camp Roberts in California. The work includes both remediation and long-term management at 15 sites at the installations. The largest single component of the requirement and subject of this protest is the Los Alamitos Landfill.
