This responds to a request by the Department of the Interior for our opinion on whether Paul Schmidt Construction Company should be allowed to correct an alleged mistake in the bid it submitted under invita- tion for bids (IFB) FWS3-81-IFB-31. We do not believe that the bid should be corrected. The IFB sought bids to construct the Louisa over- look and kiosk structures, and to re-side metal storage buildings, at the Mark Twain National Wildlife Refuge in Iowa. Paul Schmidt's bid of $10,408 was the only bid received. Since the bid was substantially lower than the Government's estimate of $15,500, the con- tracting officer asked the firm to verify the bid. In response, Paul Schmidt requested that the bid be increased by $1,162 to $11,570 because on reconsider- ing the project the firm decided that more man-hours would be needed for the overlook and kiosk work than anticipated in computing the bid price. J. I Where a mistake in bid is alleged befor the bid may be corrected if the bidder shows and convincing evidence both the existence ol take and the bid actually intended.
