TRIPLE C - THE A&E GROUP,
Appellant,
v.
DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS,
Respondent.
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. Reid, Louisville, CO, counsel for Appellant.
Russell L. Emery, Office of Regional Counsel, Department of Veterans Affairs, Denver, CO, counsel for Respondent.
Before Board Judges DANIELS (Chairman), HYATT, and GOODMAN.
DANIELS, Board Judge.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) terminated for the convenience of the Government a contract it had awarded to Triple C - The A&E Group (Triple C) for architectural and engineering services at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. In response to a termination settlement proposal, the VA contracting officer issued a decision awarding $4212 to Triple C. The contractor appealed his decision, contending that it is entitled to the additional $86,827.51 requested in the termination settlement proposal.
The parties have now filed a motion for a stipulated award, stating: The parties hereby agree to the entry of judgment by the Board in favor of Appellant in the amount of $86,827.51 as full and complete compensation for all costs, direct and indirect, associated with any issues litigated in the subject appeal. The parties will not seek reconsideration of, or relief from, the Board’s decision, and they will not appeal the decision.
Decision
The appeal is GRANTED. We award to Triple C - The A&E Group the agreed-upon amount of $86,827.51. This money is to be paid from the permanent indefinite judgment fund, 31 U.S.C. § 1304 (2012).

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in Triple C - The A&E Group, CBCA 3887. 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.
