handle is hein.gao/gaobadhrb0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 4 FILE: B-194941 DATE: October 12, 1979 MATTER OF: R.B.S., Inc. DIGEST: Request for reconsideration of decision is denied where it fails to specify error of law or information not previously considered. R.B.S., Inc., requests reconsideration of our decision in R.B.S., Inc., B-194941, August 27, 1979, 79-2 CPD 156, in which we denied the firm's request for an increase in price under a contract with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for 45,000 tons of bituminous coal. R.B.S.'s original request was based on an alleged error in its bid under the solicitation that resulted in the subject contract. R.B.S. contended that it mis- takenly failed to include-in the bid price a $.35 per ton reclamation fee required by section 402(a) of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977, V .Pub. L. No. 95-87, 91 Stat. 457 (1977). However, we found that there was no mutual mistake by the parties, nor did the record show that the contracting officer should have been on notice of a possible unilateral mistake by R.B.S. On that basis, we held that the Government's acceptance of the bid consummated a valid and binding contract at the bid price, and we therefore denied the request for a price increase. In its request for reconsideration, R.B.S. merely reiterates its position that relief should be available on the basis of a mistake in its bid. Arguments in support of that position were fully considered by our Office in the review that resulted in our August 27 decision. Since R.B.S. has failed to specify any error of law or information not previously considered, the request for reconsideration is denied. Reaction Instru- ments, Inc., B-189168, March 6, 1978, 78-1 CPD 170. THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES WASHIN'GTON, D. C. 20548 e>
