Hodgson & Sons DIGEST: Agency determination that evidence establishes mistake in bid but not intended bid, therefore bidder may be permitted to withdraw but not correct its bid, will not be disturbed by this Office where it cannot be concluded there is no reasonable basis for determination. I7)Z 26:- &4 (-03 F. Hodgson & Sons (Hodgson) has protested the decision of the Director, Offce nf Administrativepand M a Deartment of the Interior (Director) denying the request of,.2Jnb- .Carroll Cornst-rLu4c1i4 CompAny (Carroll) to correct an alleged mistake in its 176 bid after opening but prior to award, while at the same time allowing Carroll to withdraw its allegedly mistaken bid prior to the award of the contract. Hodgson's interest in the disposition of Carroll's request for correction results from the fact that Hodgson's entitlement to part of the award depends upon whether Carroll is allowed correction or only to withdraw its bid. In these circumstances, we will consider the protest. The Bureau of eclamat ion, Department of the Interior, solicited bids under invitation for bids (IFB) No. 10-C0055 - for site preparation, operational hydromet system, Thief Valley Dam, and Wildhorse Dam, Boise Project, Oregon and Nevada. The solicitation provided for bids on two schedules (schedule No. 1 Thief Valley Dam-- schedule No. 2 Wildhorse Dam) with award to be considered on either or both of the schedules but not for only a part of a schedule. Bidders were also allowed to submit an all or none bid for both schedules. Three bids were received and opened on August 31, 1978. Bid opening revealed that Hodgson was the low bidder on schedule No. 1 in the amount of $24,359. The engineer's estimate on schedule No. 1 was $27,250. The low bid on schedule No. 2, in the amount of $3,000, was submitted by Carroll, lo Corrte-6t cLLe-&& Mr1S+K
