C. 2054B6OQ~ FILE: B-192689 DATE: January 24, 1979 MATTER OF: Tri-State Motor Transit Company j7 DIGEST: Where carrier's rate tender provides for separate charges for each man required, Government request for two drivers and an armed guard requires carrier to furnish three people to perform the services in order for the Government to be obligated to pay the charges. Tri-State Motor Transit Company (Tri-State), in a letter dated August 17, 1978, requests the Comptroller General of the United States to review the General Services Administration's (GSA) action on 44 of its bills for transportation charges. See 49 U.S.C. 66(b) (Supp. V, 1975), and 4 C.F.R. 53.3 (1978). GSA, after auditing the bills, notified Tri-State of overcharges that in the absence of refund were collected by deduction from subsequent bills. A deduction constitutes a reviewable settlement action [4 C.F.R. 53.11 and Tri-State's letter complies with the criteria for requests for review of that action. 4 C.F.R. 53.3 (1978). The bills in dispute cover 44 shipments of various types of ammunition and explosives transported by Tri-State in 1975 and 1976 on Government bills of lading (GBL) between places in the United States. GBL No. M-3080146 covers a typical shipment; it was issued on September 13, 1976, and shows that Tri-State transported a pallet of rocket ammunition with explosive projectiles weighing 700 pounds from Tooele Army Depot, Utah, to Fort Polk, Louisiana. The bill of lading contains these annotations authorizing protective, security and surveillance services: ARMED GUARD REQUESTED; DUAL DRIVER PROTECTIVE SERVICE (DDPS) REQUESTED; PROTECTIVE SECURITY SERVICE REQUESTED EXCLUSIVE USE OF VEHICLE FOR GOVERNMENT USE. Tri-State collected transportation charges of $2,801.25 on the shipment. The truckload line-haul charges were $1,950.40; the charge for the armed guard was $309.40; the charge for dual driver protective service was $232.05; and the charge for the protective security service was $309.40. ~E Q Jf, K FOLWY
