handle is hein.gao/gaobadmhw0001 and id is 1 raw text is: ~0LLR C' THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES WASHINGTON. O.C. 20548 IrnrO B-217354 DATE: May 5, 1986 MATTER C DIGEST: Dan Barclay, Inc. The Navy instructed a motor carrier, which arrived in Virginia for pick up of a ship's propeller on a Friday, to provide special mili- tary service in the transportation of the ship- ment to California. Since the service included performance of continuous line-haul transporta- tion to meet a delivery deadline, the carrier should be allowed a special hourly rate for the hours between 5 p.m. Monday and 7 a.m. Tuesday, because these were unusual hours within the meaning of the carrier's tariff; however, the carrier is not entitled to the special hourly rate for unusual hours prior to the commencement of transportation on Friday where the delay in the commencement of transportation was caused by the carrier's obtaining special permits which was its responsibility. Dan Barclay, Inc., asks the Comptroller General to review settlement action taken by the General Services Administration (GSA) relating to the transportation of a ship's propeller from Virginia to California on a Government bill of lading.l/ We conclude that Barclay is entitled to $723.80 of the $1,137.40 claimed and that the carrier is entitled to retain an additional $387.75 that GSA contends was allowed in error.2/ 1/ A previous review of GSA action relating to the Government's use of Barclay's employee and equipment for transportation of the propeller by military aircraft from Travis Air Force Base to the Philippines and return resulted in decision, Dan Barclay, Inc., B-217354, June 11, 1985, 64 Comp. Gen. . 2/ GSA also disallowed Barclay's claim of $2,177.16 for expedited service. Although the carrier has not pursued the matter here we have considered the merits and agree with GSA that the expedited service charges were not applicable since the special military service charges were allowed.
