Lt, Col. William J. Holland, Department of the Air Force, for the agency, Mary G. Curcio, Esq, and Christine S. Melody, Esq,, Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of ttie decision. DIGEST Claimant may recover costs of filing and pursuing General Accounting Office protest to the extent they are documented and were reasonably incurred in pursuing the protest, DECISION Bush Painting, Inc. requests that we determine the amount it is entitled to recover from the Department of the Air Force for bid preparation costs in connection with the bid it submitted in response to invitation for bids (IFB) No. F65503-90-B-0013, and for the cost of filing and pursuing its protest in Bush Painting, Inc,, B-239904, Aug. 30, 1990, 90-2 CPD $ 188. As discussed below, we find that Bush is entitled to recover $1,758.75 in protest costs and $1,000 in bid preparation costs. In our prior decision, we sustained Bush's protest that the Air Force improperly permitted McKinley Maintenance, Inc., the low bidder, to correct a mistake in its bid. We initially recommended that the Air Force terminate the contract awarded to McKinley and award a contract to Bush, if Bush was otherwise eligible to receive the award. We also found that Bush was entitled to recover its protest costs. The Air Force subsequently informed our Office that McKinley had completed 90 percent of the contract. Bush advised our Office that it was not interested in performing 10 percent of the contract.
