Before Board Judges VERGILIO, POLLACK, and McCANN.

VERGILIO, Board Judge.

On December 31, 2008, the Board received from Mona Building Technologies, LLC (contractor) a notice of appeal, docketed as CBCA 1467, disputing the contracting officer’s termination for default of its contract, F007NGA02141HB, with the National Gallery of Art (Government). Under the contract, the contractor was to design and provide a facility management and control system in the East Building of the National Gallery of Art. The contractor pursues relief at this Board under the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, 41 U.S.C. §§ 601-613 (2006).

On August 21, 2009, the Board received a joint stipulation of settlement pursuant to Rule 25(b). The Government has converted the termination for default into a termination for the convenience of the Government. The parties have agreed to a no-cost settlement, such that the amount of the award to the contractor is zero dollars. The parties release one another ______________________________

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in Mona Building Technologies, LLC, CBCA 1467. Nothing is summarized or reworded, and the sections run in the order the Board wrote them. What the page shows and the text does not repeat is the pagination furniture: the page numbers and the rules the Board draws around its caption and under its signatures. The signatures are set back into the columns the Board prints them in, each judge under the name he or she signed, and the typed copy of that name the page carries beneath each signature is not repeated.
