Order
The United States Coast Guard contracted with Great Lakes Dock & Materials, L.L.C., for construction of the Munuscong Channel Junction Light at the Coast Guard station in St. Ignace, Michigan. During performance of the contract, an uplift failure occurred while the contractor was placing concrete into the steel ice protection cone. The contractor maintained that this problem was caused by a Coast Guard design error and claimed that as a consequence, the contract price should be increased by $282,955.61 and the contract duration enlarged by twelve calendar days. The contracting officer denied the claim, and the contractor appealed his decision.
The parties have now reached a full and final settlement of all issues in the appeal and have jointly asked the Board to dismiss the appeal with prejudice.
Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in Great Lakes Dock & Materials, L.L.C., CBCA 3400. 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.
