          where protester presents nei ther
          evidenve demonstrating any error of

     The Andy Electric Company (Andy) requests that we
reconsider our decision in AndyElectric Company--
Reconsideration, f-194610,2, August 10, 19001, 81-2
CPD Ill, whe,:etn we affirmed our original detrion in
AndyElectric Company, 59 Comp. Gen. 363 (1980), U0-1
CPL 242.  We reaffirm our findings in both decisions.

     These decisions involve Andy's claim for an upward
adjustment of its contract price because of a mistake
in bid discovered after award,  We have twice denied
the claim because we found the contracting officer
properly performed his verification duty in advising
Andy of the discrepancy between iindy's bid and both
the Government estimate and the other bids.

     On reconsideration, Andy maintains that the
contracting agency and the contracting officer acted
irresponsibly and negligently i.n (1) approving the
initial Government cost estimate, which did not
include the costs for certain items and (2) in not
increasing the inittal estimate after the issuance
of amendment No. 0001 to allow for the increased costs
caused by the amendment.  Second, Andy asserts that,
contrary to our conclusion, the contracting officer
did know that the Government estimate was erroneous
inasmuch as he knowingly issued amendment No. 0001,
which increased the cost of the work, without having
the Government's original estimate increased in value.
