handle is hein.gao/gaocrptavxj0001 and id is 1 raw text is: A G A O Comptroller General . 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: Superior Landscaping Company, Inc. File: B-310617 Date: January 15, 2008 Michael A. Gordon, Esq., and Fran Baskin, Esq., Holmes & Gordon, for the protester. Andrew E. Mishkin, Esq., Tamara M. McNulty, Esq., and Daniel E. Toomey, Esq., Duane Morris LLP, for The Davey Tree Expert Company, an intervenor. LTC James A. Lewis, Department of the Army, for the agency. Linda C. Glass, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Agency's evaluation of protester's technical proposal is unobjectionable where the record established that the evaluation is reasonable and consistent with the stated evaluation criteria; protester's mere disagreement with the agency's evaluation does not render the evaluation unreasonable. DECISION Superior Landscaping Company, Inc. protests the award of a contract to The Davey Tree Expert Company, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W91WAW-07-R-0022, issued by the Department of the Army for grounds maintenance services at the Arlington National Cemetery. The protester principally contends that the agency unreasonably evaluated its proposal as marginal under the technical capability evaluation factor. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The RFP was issued on June 8, 2007, for grounds maintenance services at Arlington National Cemetery. The RFP provided for the award of an indefinite-delivery/ indefinite-quantity contract with fixed-price and labor-hour task orders for a period of 12 months with four 12-month options. This RFP replaced a previous solicitation that resulted in an award to Davey Tree that was subsequently terminated for convenience in response to an earlier protest filed by Superior.
