The Andy Electric Company (Andy) requests that we reconsider our decision in AndyElectric Company-- Reconsideration, f-194610,2, August 10, 19001, 81-2 CPD Ill, whe,:etn we affirmed our original detrion in AndyElectric Company, 59 Comp. Gen. 363 (1980), U0-1 CPL 242. We reaffirm our findings in both decisions. These decisions involve Andy's claim for an upward adjustment of its contract price because of a mistake in bid discovered after award, We have twice denied the claim because we found the contracting officer properly performed his verification duty in advising Andy of the discrepancy between iindy's bid and both the Government estimate and the other bids. On reconsideration, Andy maintains that the contracting agency and the contracting officer acted irresponsibly and negligently i.n (1) approving the initial Government cost estimate, which did not include the costs for certain items and (2) in not increasing the inittal estimate after the issuance of amendment No. 0001 to allow for the increased costs caused by the amendment. Second, Andy asserts that, contrary to our conclusion, the contracting officer did know that the Government estimate was erroneous inasmuch as he knowingly issued amendment No. 0001, which increased the cost of the work, without having the Government's original estimate increased in value.
