C. 20548 B-202748 DATE: June 10, 1981 MATTER OF: Department of the Interior -- Request for Advance Decision DIGEST: Contract may be modified and price increased to correct mistake alleged after bid opening and prior to award where bidder, still low, reserved right to have claim considered and submitted clear and convincing evidence of mistake that was made, of manner in which it occurred and of intended prices. The Department of the Interior requests an advance decision whether to modify a contract with Hawkins and Powers Aviation, Inc. (H&P) to correct an allegedly mis- taken bid. The contract, awarded under solicitation No. 801-20, provides for the rental of 13 air tankers with pilots for use by various agencies in Alaska. We conclude that H&P's contract may be modified. H&P was the low bidder on items 8-13 of the solici- tation for which the bidder was required to offer a daily unit price for a guaranteed quantity of days and a total item amount. In addition, H&P offered trade discounts of 20 percent for items 8-11 and 25 percent for items 12 and 13 if H&P received the award of all six items. Since H&P was awarded all six items, its evalu- ated prices were as follows: Unit Item Price Unit Price Total Item w/Discount Quantity Amount Item Total (w/Dis- count) * 8 9 10 11 12 13 $1,530 1,466 1,466 1,466 1,750 1,750 $1,224.00 1,172.80 1,172.80 1,172.80 1,312.50 1,312,50 90 days 90 days 90 days 90 days 90 days 90 days $137,700 131,940 131,940 131,940 157,500 157,500 $110,160 105,552 105,552 105,552 118,125 118,125 V • a ly
