oComptroller General
             of the United States
             Washington, D.C. 20548
             Decision




             Matter of: Asbestos Control Management, Inc.

             File:       B-279521

             Date:       June 23, 1998

             Edward W. Brady, Esq., Miles & Stockbridge, for the protester.
             William M. Huddles, Esq., Huddles & Jones, for Philips Way, Inc., an intervenor.
             Charles D. Raymond, Esq., and Ruurd C. Segaar, Esq., Department of Labor, for the
             agency.
             Jacqueline Maeder, Esq., and Paul Lieberman, Esq., Office of the General Counsel,
             GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.
             DIGEST

             Agency reasonably denied request for bid correction where, after initially confirming
             its bid, the protester subsequently sought correction based on worksheets which
             contained discrepancies and inconsistencies, as a result of which the agency
             reasonably concluded that the worksheets did not provide clear and convincing
             evidence of the intended bid.
             DECISION

             Asbestos Control Management, Inc. (ACMI) protests the Department of Labor's
             (DOL) denial of ACMJ's request to correct a mistake in its low bid under invitation
             for bids (IFB) No. 97-DAA-51-JC for the installation of a new heating and air-
             conditioning system, electrical upgrades, demolition, and asbestos removal at the
             Woodstock Jobs Corps Center in Woodstock, Maryland.

             We deny the protest.

             The bid mistake concerns the base bid item covering the project, for which the IFB
             required only a single lump-sum entry. The protester submitted the lowest of 10
             bids received by the December 16, 1997 bid opening. The lowest two bids and the
             government estimate are as follows:

                                                       Base Bid

             ACMI                                      $2,410,000
             Philips Way, Inc.                         $3,130,000
             Government Estimate                       $3,902,760
