CHIEF: REFERENCE IS MADE TO YOUR LETTER OF FEBRUARY 17. SINCE THE COMPANY IS UNABLE TO SATISFACTORILY EXPLAIN THE BASIS OF THE ERROR. IT CANNOT BE SAID THAT ITS INTENDED PRICE AT THE TIME OF BIDDING IS CONCLUSIVELY ESTABLISHED SO AS TO WARRANT A DEPARTURE FROM THE BASIC RULE THAT BIDS MAY NOT BE CHANGED OR CORRECTED AFTER THE BIDS HAVE BEEN OPENED.
