LQ 3 OATE: Auguist 10, 19T61q9- DIGEST: Where available funding increases prior to award, funds may be reallocated, even if reallocation affects determination of schedule under which award is to be made. -By invitation for bids (IFB) No. YA-511-IFB6-80, and subsequent amendments, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) of the Department of the Interior solicited bids for the McGrath Fire Control Station Mess Hall renovation and water system in McGrath, Alaska. The bid schedule consisted of five bid items which were assembled in combinations into five sep- arate schedules. The BASIS OF AWARD clause indicated that only that schedule would be awarded which would be in the best interest of the Government. Praxis, Ltd., was the low bidder on schedule B. Contracting was the low bidder on the other schedules. S & S The Praxis bid was determined to be nonresponsive. A determination was made for an award to S & S on schedule B in the amount of $286,000 on the basis of funds available in that amount. When Praxis learned of the disqualification of its bid, it protested. As a result of the protest, the Praxis bid was reviewed by the Department of the Interior Office of the Regional Solicitor which decided that the bid was respon- sive. In view of the determination, Praxis withdrew the protest. However, an additional $30,000 was made available for the project and S & S was awarded schedule C in the bid amount of $316,000. Praxis has protested that the procurement was engineered to be awarded to S & S. In that connection, Praxis contends that the award should have been limited to the amount of $286,000 determined to be available when schedule B was approved for award. Further, Praxis states that the congressional delegation was advised initially that S & S would be awarded the contract under schedule B. 0. - 1 - I- - - -~ (I C
