handle is hein.gao/gaobadayu0001 and id is 1 raw text is: G A O Comptroller General Accountability * Integrity * Reliability of the United States United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 D .. Decision Matter of: Cashman Dredging and Marine Contracting Co. LLP File: B-401547 Date: August 31, 2009 Christopher Weld, Jr., Esq., Todd & Weld LLP, for the protester. Daniel C. Sauls, Esq., and James L. Stuart, Jr., Esq., Steptoe & Johnson LLP, for Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company LLC, an intervenor. David L. Nimmich, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Paul N. Wengert, Esq., and Ralph 0. White, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest arguing that agency improperly permitted correction of low bidder's mistake of omitting a single digit from the unit price for one line item is denied because the correct amount was shown in the extended price for that line, the extended prices summed to the bid total, and because the handwritten copy of the bid also reflected the corrected price. DECISION Cashman Dredging and Marine Contracting Co. LLP, of Quincy, Massachusetts, protests the award of a contract to Great Lakes Dredging and Dock Company, of Oak Brook, Illinois, by the Department of the Navy under invitation for bids (IFB) No. N40085-09-B-7046 for maintenance dredging for the submarine base at New London, Connecticut. Cashman argues that the awardee's bid was defective and should have been rejected. We deny the protest. BACKGROUND The Navy issued the IFB to obtain dredging and related services at Submarine Base New London. The IFB required bidders to supply both unit prices and extended prices for 10 line items, and a total of the extended prices for all lines. The IFB also instructed bidders to submit both an original and one copy of their bids.
