Summary

Tip Top Construction Corporation protests the rejection of its apparent low bid as nonresponsive for lack of a valid bid bond, under invitation for bids (IFB) No. DTFH71-08-B-00002, issued by the Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), for construction of a five-leg roundabout on the island of St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands. Tip Top contends that the FHWA unreasonably concluded that its bid bond was defective.

We deny the protest.
