Order
The Department of Justice’s Federal Bureau of Prisons entered into a requirements contract with Ruiz Protective Services, Inc. (Ruiz) for the provision of guard services to inmates held at two facilities in Texas, Federal Correctional Institution Fort Worth and Federal Medical Center Carswell. The bureau ordered considerably more hours of guard services than originally contemplated, causing Ruiz to incur additional direct and indirect costs for overtime and administrative matters. Ruiz claimed that it was entitled to $2,390,596.96 to cover its additional costs. On December 22, 2009, Ruiz filed an appeal with the Board from the deemed denial of its claim.
After protracted negotiations, the parties have agreed to settle the case, with the Bureau of Prisons paying $589,471.88 to Ruiz. Ruiz has filed a motion for dismissal of the case.
Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in Ruiz Protective Services, INC, CBCA 1841. 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.
