File: B-223531 Date: October 16, 1986 DIGEST Bid mistake may not be corrected where bid, as corrected, would displace otherwise low, eligible bid and neither bid mistake nor the intended bid are ascertainable substantially from the face of the bid and the solicitation. DECISION Crystal Contracting Corp. (Crystal) has requested that it be permitted to correct its allegedly erroneous bid submitted in response to invitation for bids (IFB) No. N62474-86-B-8013, issued by the Naval Weapons Station, Seal Beach, California, for the maintenance and repair of hoists and cranes at three Navy installations. The work to be performed under the contract was divided between two bid items. Bid Item 1 called for a fixed-price lump sum amount for the performance of scheduled preventive maintenance of the hoists and cranes. Crystal's alleged mistake relates to this item. Bid Item 2 consisted of esti- mates of additional work hours (straight time and overtime) needed to perform other repair and maintenance work, for which bidders were to enter hourly labor rates, plus an item relating to the cost of materials. The total bid price, for purposes of evaluation, was the sum of Bid Items 1 and 2. As we indicated above, Bid Item 1 called for a single lump sum figure for the performance of scheduled preventive maintenance. This lump sum bid was to be supported by a Schedule of Deductions on which bidders were to enter, for each item of equipment to be maintained, an amount which would be deducted from the contractor's invoice for work unperformed or unsatisfactorily performed. The completed Schedule of Deductions was not to be submitted with the bid. The total of the Schedule of Deductions, however, was to equal the lump sum entered under Bid Item 1. 0O2sn\0
