Gulf-Atlantic Constructors, Inc.

A firm protested a Department of the Army contract award to upgrade road access at Hurlburt Field Air Force Base, in Florida, contending that the Army improperly permitted the awardee to make an upward correction of its apparent low bid. GAO held that it was not unreasonable for the Army to conclude that the awardee had presented clear and convincing evidence of the claimed mistake and the intended bid. Accordingly, the protest was denied.
