MATTER GOF:   Federal Aviation Administration - Bid Correction


DJIGE'ST;

1.    Correction of bid mistake wnich would result in displace-
      inent of another bidder may be effected only where mTi1-
      take and bid actually intended are ascertained substantially
      from invitation and bid, without resort to bidder's worn-
      sheets.

2.    Where bid contains discrepancy between unit and total price
      for an item, bid may be corrected downward to reflect L. unIt
      price which is consistent with the total price, even though
      another bidder is displaced, since only the total price reason-
      ably could be regarded as having been intended bid.

      The Federal Aviation Andministration (F AA' requests an
opinion whether Dondlirger & Sons Construction Company's
(Dondlinger) worksheets may be utilized to determine that com-
pany's intended bid. There is a dscepancy  between the bid-
der's unit and toti ILid price for one item. If the total amount
is accepted, Dond'.inger is the low bidder; if the unit price is
utilized, then anotier bdder, Hunt Building Company (Ilunt), is
the low bidder.

      Invitation for bids (IF13) No. CE55-6-19, issued on
April 1, 1976, covered the constructibn of a low activity radar
airport traffic cont.ol tower at the Springfield Municipal Air-
port, Springfield, Missouri. Eleven bids were opened on
June 3, 197 5. The ibstract of bids indicates that the two
apparent low bids Nxere as follows:
