handle is hein.gao/gaocrptaejy0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Hall/McCabe Realty, Inc. File: B-272875 Date: October 29, 1996 Judith K. McCabe for the protester. W. Graham Moses, Esq., Department of Housing and Urban Development, for the agency. John Van Schaik, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Where solicitation required bidders to submit price spreadsheet covering all of the work to be performed under fixed-price contract, but the spreadsheet was not listed on the bid schedule and was to have no effect upon contract award, a failure to submit the spreadsheet with the bid does not render the bid nonresponsive. DECISION Hall/McCabe Realty, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Gulf Coast Brokers/ERTI under invitation for bids (IFB) No. 003-96-063, issued by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for real estate asset manager (REAM) services. We deny the protest. The IFB contemplated award of a fixed-priced contract for management and related services for single family properties owned or in the possession of HUD in the Pensacola, Florida area for 1 year with 2 option years. The IFB at section B.3.A., required bidders to insert a fee for the base year and for each of the option years for each HUD-owned property assigned to the contract. Under sections B.3.B and B.3.C, bidders were required to insert a per month, per property price for custodial duties and a per lot price for work required on vacant lots. The IFB stated that the sum of those five prices would be used to determine the low bidder under the IFB. Section L-8 of the IFB, Pricing Information, included a pricing spreadsheet calling for bidders to set forth their costs for the base and each option year for numerous items, including direct labor, fringe benefits, and other costs such as initial inspections, initial cleanups, securing properties, defective paint inspections and reports, initial and routine ground maintenance, photographs, subcontracting, 4341029
