ORDER PURSUANT TO RULE l(a)(5)
DIRECTING CONTRACTING OFFICER TO ISSUE DECISION
The contractor filed, under Board Rule l(a)(5), a request for an order directing
the contracting officer to render a decision on a 15 May 2012 claim for alleged unpaid
costs. The government has advised that the parties will enter into settlement
discussions and that if a settlement cannot be reached by 6 February 2017, that a final
decision on the claim will be issued by 6 April 2017, a date to which the contractor
does not object. We deem this to be reasonable.
Accordingly, the Board hereby directs the contracting officer to issue a decision
on the contractor's claim by 6 April 2017.
This Order completes all necessary action by the Board. If the contracting
officer fails to comply with this Order, such failure will be deemed a decision by the
contracting officer denying the claim, and the contractor may appeal to this Board or
sue in the United States Court of Federal Claims pursuant to the Contract Disputes
Act, 41 U.S.C. §§ 7103(f)(5), or 7104, as appropriate.
