From: Contracting Officer, Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC)
Subj: Bid Opening Recording of Bids Statement
To: Contract File
The Veterans Health Administration (VHA), Program Contracting Activity Central (PCAC) plans on awarding a design-bid-build contract for the 506-334 – Construct Private In-Patient Rooms and Primary Clinics construction project at the Ann Arbor VAMC to CAVU Consulting LLC DBA CAVU Construction. However, upon examining their submitted bid bond, the Contracting Officer discovered it was lacking the signature of the surety’s attorney-in-fact. The Contracting Officer reviewed the regulations in the VA Acquisition Manual (VAAM) as well as obtained the advice of our legal counsel. The advice of legal counsel was that this omission warrants rejection of the bid as nonresponsive and final determination of the Contracting Officer was in concurrence. This was the only bid lower than the bid submitted by Daniels Building Co Inc.
Therefore, after the rejection of CAVU Consulting LLC DBA CAVU Construction, PCAC plans on awarding to Daniels Building Co Inc.
This memorandum addresses the Contracting Officer’s recording of bids at the time of bid opening in accordance with the VA Acquisition Manual.
VAAM M814.403 Recording of bids.
(a) The bid opening official shall prepare and sign a statement that any erasures, strikeovers, or changes in price were noted at the time of bid opening. The statement shall be included on, or attached to, the abstract or record of bids.
The Contracting Officer confirms that the bids opened for solicitation 36C25024B0031_1 did not contain any erasures, strikeovers, or changes in price at the time of bid opening.
