Alleged Nonresponsive Bid from Competitor

The protester alleged that the low bidder's bid was nonresponsive since it failed to indicate compliance with the requirement that the contractor's forces perform at least 15 percent of the actual construction work. The bid was responsive despite the fact that the bidder placed a zero in the space for "services," since the bidder was bound to comply with the invitation-for-bids provisions which it acknowledged by signing the bid.
