DIGEST: Where specifications in IFB for advanced sewage treatment plant were ambiguous as to whether prefabricated metal building was required, IFB failed to clearly state Government's actual minimum needs. Government would lack reasonable assurance that its needs would be met if protester's lump sum bid were accepted. Therefore, contracting officer had compelling reason to cancel IFB and resolicit using revised specifications which clearly indicate actual requirements. Allied Contractors, Inc. (Allied), protests the cancellation of the invitation for bids (IFB) No. N62477-75-B-0089, issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command. The IFB sought bids for the construction of an advanced sewage treatment plant at the United States Naval Station in Annapolis, Maryland. Section 01011, paragraph 2 of the IFB specifications, contained a general description of the sewage treatment plant as follows: The work includes the design, fabrication and construction of a sewage treatment plant, a prefabricated building for housing its equipment and an access road thereto. The work includes providing mechanical and electrical services to operate this plant, footings for support of the prefabricated building, and design of the floor slab to support the equipment. Bids were opened on January 7, 1976. Allied's bid (for all work) was lowest priced ($438,200). - 1 -
