Tri-M Builders, Inc. (Tri-M) appeals the decision of the Board of Contract Appeals of the United States Department of Agriculture (Board), AGBCA Nos. 83-225-1, 83-234-1 and 84-261-1, holding that Tri-M failed to perform its contract with the United States and that the United States did not fail to mitigate its damages in electing to construct a new foundation rather than repairing the defects in the previously constructed foundation. We affirm on the basis of the Board's opinion.
