handle is hein.gao/gaobadguz0001 and id is 1 raw text is: j ~ '~.THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION . OF THE UNITED STATES WAS H IN GTO N, D.C. 2054 6 B-193470 U. S. Royal Maintenance DIGEST: Lci1eJV- MA I-T -fh; v y- Where evidence establishes mistake in bid but does not establish intended bid, agency properly permitted bidder to withdraw but not correct its bid. U. S. Royal Maintenance (U. S. Royal) protests the award of a contract for janitorial services by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command under IFB N62474-78-B- 0506 to any bidder other than itself. U. S. Royal was the incumbent contractor for these services. The basis of the protest is that the Navy refused to permit the correction of an error in bid although it did allow U. S. Royal to withdraw its bid. Bids for the IFB were opened on August 29, 1978 with the following pertinent results: - U. S. Royal Maintenance Co. Franco Building Maintenance $19,953.64 $23,556.60 Due to the disparity between the U. S. Royal bid and the Navy's $25,000 estimate, U. S. Royal was requested to review and confirm its bid. On September 25, 1978, U. S. Royal asserted an error in its .bid in the amount of $1,446.36 and requested that its bid be corrected to $22,842.36. According to the protester the $1,446.36 represents an estimate for financing charges and overhead that was to be added to the preceding year's contract price of $21,398.00. U. S. Royal claims that in preparing the bid, instead of adding the $1,446.36 to the prior year's price, a U. S. Royal employee erroneously sub- tracted that amount to arrive at the $19,953.64 bid for the current requirement. In support of its protest and request for bid correction, U. S. Royal has provided us with two affidavits, the bid worksheet, and the adding machine tape used in preparing the bid. FILE: MATTER OF: DATE:january 15, 1979
