The case caption as the decision prints it. Every word is kept; the rule the Board draws around it is not text, so it is not repeated here.
Thomas G. Anglim, AIA, or VOA/Ellerbe Becket, LLC, Orlando, FL, appearing for Appellant; and James K. Lowe, Jr., and Howard Cohen of AECOM Technology Corporation, Roanoke, VA, counsel for Appellant.

Order
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) entered into a contract with VOA/Ellerbe Becket, LLC for the provision of professional architecture and engineering services for the design of improvements to the department’s medical center in Bay Pines, Florida. The contractor claimed that it should be paid $99,808.64 for costs it incurred in obtaining an environmental resource permit from a local government authority in fulfilling its responsibilities under the contract. A VA contracting officer denied the claim, and the contractor appealed his decision.

The parties have now agreed that the VA will pay the contractor $60,000 for obtaining the permit. The contractor has consequently asked the Board to dismiss the appeal. Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in Voa/Ellerbe Becket, LLC, CBCA 2811. 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.
