DATE:  March 31, 1978


MATTEF  OF:


P. J. Stella Construction Corp. -
Reconsideration


DIGEST:


         Prior decision is affirmed notwith-
         standing allegation in request for
         reconsideration that contract was first
         Federal construction contract, performed
         by contractor, subject to Davis-Bacon
         Act, because ;while procuring activity
         should have designated which wage sched-
         ule in IFB applied, wage schedule applied
         by contractor clearly noted it was only
         for use in residential work, not appli-
         cable here and, therefore, IFB was not
         so deficient as to warrant equitable con-
         tract adjustment.


       Associated General Contractors of Massachusetts,
  Inc. (AGC), on behalf of P. J.-Stella Construction
  Corp. (Stella), has -requested reconsideration of our
  decision in the mat+-er of P. J. Stella Construction
  Corp., 8-189493, January 17, 1978778-1 CPD 35.

       Our prior decisidn held that while the Army haC
  improperly incorporated into the solicitation a Resi-
  dential wage rate under the Davis-Bacon Act, in addi-
  tion to a Building wage rate, and had not designated
  which rate was to apply, Stella was not justified
  in assuming the lower 'Residential rates applied to
  a contract for expansion of a military reserve centAr.

       AGC's request for reconsideration argues that
  while we recognized that the Army had failed to follow
  the procedures set forth in Department of Labor Memo-
  randum No. 68 and section 13-704.2(f) of the Armed
  Services Procurement Regulation (ASPR) (1976 ed.),
