File: B-278076.2 Date: January 20, 1998 Edward J. Kinberg, Esq., for the protester. Thomas W. Burt, Esq., and Larry E. Beall, Esq., Department of the Army, for the agency. Linda C. Glass, Esq., and Paul I. Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST 1. Amendment is not material where it does no more than restate information already contained in the solicitation regarding the scope and quality of certain work. 2. Contracting officer properly accepted bid that failed to acknowledge a solicitation amendment that was not material. DECISION Kalex Construction & Development, Inc. protests the proposed award of a contract to ABC Landclearing/Tri-State Design (ABC), under invitation for bids (IFB) No. DACA01-97-B-0082, issued by the United States Army Corp of Engineers for basewide landscaping and signage at Homestead Air Reserve Base, Florida. Kalex contends that ABC's bid should have been rejected as nonresponsive because it failed to acknowledge an amendment to the IFB. We deny the protest. The IFB, issued on August 5, 1997, stated that the work consisted of landscaping buffers, streetscaping, pedestrian spine with landscaping, security lighting and signs for buildings and roadway intersections. The IFB required offerors to perform all work and furnish all plant, labor, equipment, and materials required by the specifications and the drawings. With respect to the sodding requirement, the IFB provided that the work would consist of solid sodding with St. Augustine Floritam or Bahia Pensacola, as indicated on the contract drawings. The limits of sodding were also stated to be as required on the contract drawings. With respect to the lighting system, the IFB required that the lighting system be configured as specified by the drawings and that the system included all fixtures, hardware, poles, cables, connectors, adapters, and appurtenances needed to provide a fully functional lighting system. Amendment 0001, issued on August 25, revised the bid schedule
