C. 20546 FILE: B-199927 DATE: May 12, 1981 MATTER OF: American Farm Lines DIGEST: Horizontal lines inadvertently placed between each destination point, rate and minimum weight in tender does not eliminate alternating rates (with higher rate applicable to lowest mini- mum weight and lowest rate applicable to highest minimum weight) previously reflected in tender. American Farm Lines (AFL)requests review of settle- ment action taken by the General Services Administration (GSA) relating to two shipments-tf F-eightAll Kinds that were transported from Defense, Texas, to- Lathrop, Cali- fornia, in February 1978. See 31 U.S.C. S 244(b) (Supp. III, 1979), and 4 CFR 53 (1980).LAFL presented two claims to the GSA)for $444 each as additional allowances for transporting on-e shipmenon Government bill of lading (GBL) M-6121306, weighing 23,833 pounds, and another on GBL M-6120469, which weighed 19,847 pounds. he GSA dis- allowed these claimsby issuance of Settlement Certifi- cates on May 27, 1980 (TK-035679) and June 2, 1980 (TK-035696), on the respective GBLs. AFL and the GSA agree that the general commodity rates in item 1257 of AFL's Tender ICC 266 apply to the shipments. The relevant part of item 1257 contains rates from Defense, Texas, to various California points. There is also apparent agreement that the Government requested exclusive use of vehicle service; that the servicewas furnished, and the exclusive-use rule in item 130 of the tender (original page 8 and 6th revised page 9) requires that the charges be based on a minimum weight of 40,000 pounds. The parties disagree over the applicable truckload rate.)The carrier's claims are based on a rate of $5.20 per 100 pounds, while the GSA adheres to the rate on AFL's original bills of $4.09 per 100 pounds.
