Golden, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest challenging agency's decision to interpret awardee's conflicting bid amounts as reflecting the higher of the two amounts is denied where the agency reasonably determined there was clear and convincing evidence that the awardee intended to bid the higher amount. DECISION Mid Eastern Builders, Inc. protests the Department of the Navy's award of a contract to W.B. Meredith II, Inc. under invitation for bids (IFB) No. N62470-00-B-0150 to perform specified construction services in Norfolk, Virginia. Mid Eastern protests that the agency improperly accepted Meredith's bid. We deny the protest. The solicitation was issued on April 2, 2002 and, as amended, required bidders to submit three copies of their bid packages to a specified location by 2:00 p.m. on June 6. On that day, the agency timely received five bid packages, including those of Mid Eastern and Meredith. Three Navy officials were involved in the bid opening process. One official opened the bids, a second official read the bid prices, and a third recorded the bids on a bid abstract form. Agency Report, Contracting Officer's Statement, at 2.
