The Forest Service requested a decision regarding a
claim for a higher contract price than that contained in the
offeror's bid. The contractor's acceptance of the cntract price
for work performed, while clearly indicating that they did not
reqard the amount as full payment and disputing the decision of
th contracting officer to disallow a late bid modification, did
not operate as accord and satisfaction. A telegraphic bid
modification, received by telephone 29 minutes after the bid
opening, may not be considered since there was no evidence of
mishandling by the Government. (Author/SC)
