   MATTER  OF:       Mountain Engineering and
                     Construction and Weisz
                     and Sons, a Joint Venture
   DIGEST:


           Omission of unit prices in bid was
           properly waived as minor informality
           where unit prices could be derived
           from face of bid by dividing total
           price for items by required quantity
           of each item, since bidder was com-
           mitted to those unit prices by bid
           and therefore no other bidder was
           prejudiced.

        Mountain Engineering and Construction and Weisz and
    Sons,' Joint Venture (Mountain),Aho-s protested the award
    of a contract t  eWooogn oD      Inc. (Oregon) , for
    the manufacture, testing, delivery, and installation of
    selective withdrawal and penstock trashracks at Libby
    Additional Units and Reregulating Dam, Kootenai River,
    Montana, under invitation for bids (IFB)'No. DACW-67-79-
    B-0018, issued by the United States Army Co'rps of
    Engineers (Corps), Seattle, Washington District. 24 -

        Mountain was the third low bidder, Oregon was the
    low bidder, and Steel Management, Inc. (Steel), was the
    second low bidder. Mounta'*n contends that Oregon's bid
    was nonresponsive because (it did not contain required
    unit prices, and that Steel's bid was ambiguous because
    it contained a discrepancy between a unit price and the
    total bid price. Mountain argues that the bids of Oregon
    and Steel should have been rejected for those reasons
    and that award should have been made to Mountain.

        Section E of the IFB set forth the items to be sup-
    plied, the quantities required, and the spaces for prices,
    as follows:
