B-265762.2 1 (1996-02-15)

handle is hein.gao/gaocrptadsw0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Comptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: Dynalectric Company File: B-265762.2 Date: February 15, 1996 Joseph D. West, Esq., Arnold & Porter, for the protester. Sean Brew, Esq., Corona & Balistreri, for Steiny & Company, an interested party. Leonard G. Crowley, Esq., and Christopher M. Bellomy, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Adam Vodraska, Esq., and Guy R. Pietrovito, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Where a low bidder alleging a mistake after bid opening does not clearly show that its intended bid would have remained low in all circumstances because of uncertainties in estimating the omitted cost, the agency properly rejected the bid without permitting the bidder to waive the mistake. DECISION Dynalectric Company protests the award of a contract to Steiny & Company under invitation for bids (IFB) No. N68711-93-B-1444 issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command for airfield communication and electrical system infrastructure upgrades at the Marine Corps Air Station, Camp Pendleton, California. We deny the protest. The IFB sought lump-sum prices for the construction of concrete ductbanks, including manholes, handholes, and conduits to support the communication and electrical system at the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Air Station. Detailed specifications and drawings described the required construction work. Among other things, the contractor was required to perform core borings in two locations to allow conduits to cross beneath the airfield taxiways.' The IFB did not specify the length of core boring required; rather, bidders were to determine the length themselves from scaled drawings. 1Core boring here involves horizontal underground auguring from a boring pit located near the taxiway. 1252215
