SUMMARY BINDING DECISION BY ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE D'ALESSANDRIS
By ADR agreement approved by the Board on 22 November 2017, the parties
requested that this appeal be decided by a one judge "summary proceeding with
binding decision." The parties agreed that this "decision shall be final, conclusive, not
subject to reconsideration or appeal, and may not be set aside, except for fraud."
(ADR Agreement at 1, 3) This decision has no value as precedent and cannot be cited
in any other proceeding. The undersigned conducted a one-day evidentiary hearing on
10 April 2018 at the Board's offices in Falls Church, Virginia, after which the parties
rested and presented arguments.
DECISION
The appeals of URS Federal Services, Inc. (URS) are denied. Based upon a
review of testimony at the evidentiary hearing and the record, we find that URS failed
to satisfy its burden of proof necessary to recover in these appeals.
Dated: 12 April 2018
