C. 20548 FILE: B-200372 DATE: Novemhr 18,19P0 MATTER OF: Gilbert Construction Company DIGEST: Although no contract existed between protester and National Park Service, payment may be made on quantum meruit basis since Park Service has received benefit and unauthorized work has been implicitly ratified. The Pacific Northwest Region of the National Park Service (Park Service) requests a decision on whether it may certify a $3,500 payment to Gilbert Construction Company (Gilbert), a/k/a/ G&J Joint Ventures. On September 27, 1974, a Park Service concession- aire, Howard W. Bradley (Bradley), pursuant to its concession contract, contracted with Gilbert to construct a restaurant at the Diablo Lake Resort, Rockport, Washington. The total estimated contract price was $197,575.23. However, certain work to be done outside the restaurant, such as clearing and grading the site and constructing the parking lots, worth $28,952, was specifically excluded from the contract. Therefore, the final contract price was $16R,623. Gilbert apparenlly was informed by Pradley that t.he Park Serrice would sicfn a soeonrate' contract for t~he work specifically excluded from its (Gilbert's) contract with 3radley. Gilbert never received a contract for this work from the Government, but the work was done. Gilbert claims it spent $5,000 between October I through October 11, 1974, on the excluded items. The superintendent claims no work was begun before October 9, 1974. The Park Service has determined that only $3,500 of the work is compatible with the final plans and design which the Park Secrvice required. Gilbert has agreed to accept such an amount for its work.
