handle is hein.gao/gaocrptahpj0001 and id is 1 raw text is: oComptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Sverdrup Civil, Inc. File: B-278627 Date: January 23, 1998 David G. Loseman, Esq., Armstrong, Teasdale, Schlafly & Davis, for the protester. Alan P. Shapiro, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Robert Arsenoff, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest that agency should have rejected awardee's bid because it included a dash as a price entry for one line item, under a solicitation which required bids for all items, is denied; the entry constitutes an unequivocal obligation on the part of the bidder to perform the work described in the associated line item at no cost to the government. DECISION Sverdrup Civil, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Southwest Engineering, Inc., under invitation for bids (IFB) No. DACW09-95-B-0030, issued by the Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, for Phase II of the Hansen Dam Recreation Lake project. Sverdrup contends that Southwest's bid should have been rejected as nonresponsive for failure to enter a price for a required line item. We deny the protest. The IFB contained 28 line items with spaces next to each for prices. Section 00010 of the IFB provided, in relevant part, that: Bids shall be submitted on all line items of the Pricing Schedule, including Option Items, otherwise the bid will be considered nonresponsive and rejected. Amounts and prices shall be indicated in either words or figures, not both.
