B-218447.5 1 (1986-07-09)

handle is hein.gao/gaobadmjr0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 1. 0 The Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: GTC Group--Reconsideration Request File: B-218447.5 Date: July 9, 1986 DIGEST 1. Request by performing contractor for an increase in its contract price does not warrant reversing prior decision recomrmending award to that firm since the request does not change the fact that the contractor was entitled to award as the low responsive bidder. 2. Questions regarding contractor performance, payment and termination are matters of contract administration for consideration by the contracting agency, not the General Accounting Office. iUCISION G'TC Group requests reconsideration of our decision in Energy Mainte- nance Corp; Turbine Engine Services Corp., 64 Comp. Gen. 425 (1985), 85-1 C.P.D. If 341, aff'd, Turbine Engine Services-Request for Reconsideration, B-218447.2, June 25, 1985, 64 Comp. Gen. , 85-1 C.P.D. If 721. In that decision, we held that the United States Coast Guard improperly had canceled a solicitation for turbine engine over- hauls. We recommended that the Coast Guard reinstate the solicitation and award a contract to Energy Maintenance Corp. (EMC), the low responsive bidder, if the firm was otherwise eligible for the award. The Coast Guard proceeded with a fixed-price contract award to E4C as we recommended, and EMC has begun performance. GTC, a bidder on the origi- nal procurement, recently obtained information under the Freedom of Information Act indicating that EMC has requested increases in its prices for certain contingency items for the repair of two gas turbine genera- tors. GTC argues that since EMC received the award based on its low bid (while GTC was denied an award due to its higher bid price), EMC's request for a price increase should invalidate the award. We dismiss the reconsideration request. Our Office will consider a request for reconsideration of a prior decision only where the requester presents information supposedly indi- cating that the decision was legally erroneous or failed to take into account all facts presented.
