handle is hein.gao/gaobadhlt0001 and id is 1 raw text is: B-192752 DATE:August 6, 1979 Contra Costa Electric, Inc.-- Reconsideration; Carl W. Olson La and Sons Co. 1. Request for increase in price of contract awa-ded-by--Fed-e-r-a4--r-a-wte-e because of alleged mistake in .bid by subcontractoris denied where record shows contractor accepted award without reservation after grantee had been placed on notice of mistake claim, so that legally binding contract resulted. 2. Claimants' request for informal conference in connection with request for post-award mistake in bid claim under contract awarded by Federal grantee is denied since conference would serve no useful purpose in light of record which shows claimants are not entitled to relief as a matter of law. Contra Costa Electric, Inc. (Contra Costa) and Carl W. Olson and Sons Co. (Olson) request reconsideration of our decision, Contra Costa Electric, Inc., B-192752, September 27, 1978, 78-2 CPD 239, in which we declined to review Contra Costa's request for correction of a mistake in its bid submitted to a prime contractor for electrical subcontract work under a contract funded by Federal grant. It has been our practice not to review matters involving the award of subcontracts by a prime contractor to a Federal grantee. In declining to consider Contra Costa's request for bid correction, we noted that a mistake in bid claim had not been filed with this Office by the prime contractor. Nevertheless, on the record before us, we observed that the prime contractor apparently accepted award of the contract at its original price without complaint or reservation.
