handle is hein.gao/gaobadlfv0001 and id is 1 raw text is: THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL DECISION OF. ow THE UNITEO STATEI WASHINGTON. D. C. 2054R FILE: B-208918 DATE: August 2, 1983 MATTER OF: General Construction Company/Reidel International DIGEST: 1. Where a grantee state's regulations for a construction project provide that the grantee may reject an unbalanced bid if it is found to be detrimental to the grantee, that regulation is not violated when grantee, after examining the situation, finds that acceptance of the bid would not be detrimental. 2. Where solicitation does not preclude sub- mission of a front-loaded bid, a mathemati- cally unbalanced bid is not nonresponsive to the solicitation and bidder's post-bid opening submission of a construction sched- ule indicating that the bid was not front- loaded did not result in a nonresponsive bid being made responsive. 3. Where acceptance, after bid opening, of the low bidder's agreement to perform according to a construction schedule and to charge for possible additional work based on its actual costs did not represent material char es to the solicitation and did not res.t in a reduction of the contract obli- gations for which all bidders competed, competition was conducted on an equal basis. 4. Where the low bidder certifies in its bid that it will comply with minority subcon- tracting requirements, its bid is respon- sive on the point, and whether it actually carries out this legal obligation during performance is a matter of contract and grant administration within the purview of the grantee and grantor.
