handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaeha0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Mike Johnson, Inc. File: B-271943 Date: August 14, 1996 Joel C. McCormick, Esq., McCormick, Dunn & Black, for the protester. Capt. Timothy Domek and Marian E. Sullivan, Esq., Department of the Air Force, for the agency. Charles W. Morrow, Esq., and James A. Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Low bid that acknowledged all amendments, but was submitted on the original bid schedule calling for a lump-sum bid, instead of on the revised bid schedule added by an amendment to the invitation for bids (IFB), which broke up the contract work into three line items for which prices were requested, is responsive, where the revised bid schedule did not add any additional work beyond that encompassed in the original bid schedule, such that the lump-sum bid on the initial IFB bid schedule obligated the bidder to meet all of the amended IFB's requirements at the lowest price. DECISION Mike M. Johnson, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Federal Research, Inc. under invitation for bids (IFB) No. 45613-96-B-0010, issued by the Department of the Air Force, Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, for the demolition of building 2150. Johnson contends that Federal's bid was nonresponsive for failing to complete the revised bidding schedule. We deny the protest. The initial IFB included requirements for testing for contaminated soil, heavy metals, petroleum, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB); the removal of hazardous materials; and the replacement of contaminated soil with uncontaminated soil. The initial IFB schedule called for a single lump-sum bid. Amendment No. 0002 made various changes to the scope of work and incorporated a revised bidding schedule that separated the existing requirements under the statement of work into three separate line items. The first line item called for a lump-sum price for all work specified, except that work covered by the other two 114814
