Decision
Matter of: Dyna Construction, Inc.
File: B-275047
Date: January 21, 1997
Theodore M. Bailey, Esq., for the protester.
Lee Casstevens, Esq., Wood, Burney, Cohn & Viles for Braselton Construction Co.,
an intervenor.
Diane D. Hayden, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency.
Paula A. Williams, Esq., and Michael R. Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
DIGEST
Agency properly rejected as nonresponsive protester's bid which failed to
acknowledge an amendment that added an additional material requirement.
DECISION
Dyna Construction, Inc. protests the rejection of its bid and the award of a contract
to Braselton Construction Company under invitation for bids (IFB) No. N62467-96-B-
7664, issued by the Department of the Navy for construction services to
repair/upgrade the quarters used to house enlisted sailors at the Naval Air Station in
Kingsville, Texas. Dyna's bid was rejected as nonresponsive because the protester
failed to acknowledge amendment No. 0002 to the IFB.
We deny the protest.
As issued, the solicitation asked prospective bidders to submit lump-sum prices for
furnishing all labor, materials, and equipment required to perform various
construction services required to complete the repair and renovation specified in
the statement of work and solicitation drawings. The project was divided into
numerous sections, including the removal and replacement of doors. The initial
specifications and drawings require the contractor to provide 200 new sliding closet
doors (Door Type 15) in the remodeled bedrooms but did not identify the frame
type to be used to mount the new doors. This aspect of the project was the subject
of a written bidder inquiry in which the bidder noted that while the solicitation
drawings state at Note 10 on Drawing Sheets A2, A3, and A4 that the contractor
must furnish [n]ew door, frame, and hardware[ ] [-] [r]efer to door schedule, there
is no indication on the door schedule (drawing sheet A8) or the bid specifications
as to the type of frame to be furnished. Upon reviewing the drawings and
