                MATTER  OF:   Pan Am Construction & M6nagement Co.


                DIGEST:

                1.  Allegation that low proposal was late is not
                    demonstrated by evidence that low offeror's
                    reprvsentative did not sign building log prior
                    to time for receipt of proposal, where building
                    security guard states that people with whom she
                    is familiar, like low offeror's representative,
                    are not required to sign building log a.id where
                    guard also states that low offeror's representa-
                    tive was admitted to buildirg prior to time fnr
                    receipt of proposals.
                                         4.-
                 2. Protester's claim, that only time-date stamp or
                    other documentary evidence maintained by instal-
                    lation can 'be used to Ehow timely receipt of
                    proposal, is without merit because relied-upon
                    standard applies to mailed and telegraphic bids
                    or proposals, not to hand-carried proposals as
                    in initant case.

                3.  Statements of Government personnel as to time of
                    receipt of low proposal are competent evidence
                    of that fact.


                    Pan Am Construction & Management Co. (Pan Am)
                protests award of a contract by the D. C. Department
                of Housing and Community Development (D. C.) for the
                renovation of Deanwood Gardens, D. C. Project 1-42,
                on the ground that the low offeror and awardee, Con-
                gressional General tbntractors (Congressional) did
                not submit a timely proposal.

                       The solicitation under which offers were re-
                ceived, Specification No. 42-77-1, specified that pro-
