handle is hein.gao/gaobadhja0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISIOi . OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON, 0.C. 20548 FILE: B-195216 DATE: June 29, 1979 MATTER OF: Industrial Maintenance Services, Inc. DIGEST: 1. Protest questioning responsiveness of low bid is denied as low bidder took no ex- ception to any solicitation requirements. 2. Protest concerning low responsive bidder's ability to meet contractual requirements at bid price is not for consideration as GAO will not review affirmative determina- tion of responsibility except in circum- stances not applicable here. Industrial Maintenance Services, Inc. (Industrial), protests the proposed award of a requirements contractra by the Department of the Army to Starlite Services, Inc.0 _q,_..Starlite), the low bidder under invitation for bids (IFB) No. DABTIO-79-B-0099 for custodial services at, Fort Benning, Georgia, from July 1, 1979, through June 30, 1980. Industrial contends that Starlite's bid of $531,261.94 is so low that it cannoE reflect what In- dustrial calculates to be the absolute minimum number of employees required to perform the services. Indus- trial, the fourth low bidder at $629,155.61, also makes the same argument with respect to the second and third low bidders. This case is one in which it is clear from the protester's initial submission that the protest is with- out legal merit, and we will decide the matter on the basis of this submission without requesting an agency report. See e.g. Fire & Technical Equipment Corp., B-192408, August 4, 1978, 78-2 CPD 91. The solicitation's Schedule listed 16 items of services, and an estimated number of square feet for each. Items 1 through 9 required reference to the IFB's Per- formance Schedules for the custodial services, their frequencies, and buildings involved with respect to F~jL LE&44-b,, f/-blq7 I~ r~le ) 5 61 - /.-7
