Order
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) contracted with Aulet Contracting, Inc.
(Aulet) for the installation of a sprinkler system at the VA hospital in Northport, New York. The VA terminated the contract for the convenience of the Government. Aulet then submitted a termination settlement proposal in the amount of $1,040,546.37 and, five months later, converted the proposal into a claim. The contractor appealed from the contracting officer’s deemed denial of the claim, and the Board docketed the appeal as CBCA 4008. Subsequently, the contracting officer decided that Aulet was entitled to $832,000. The contractor appealed that decision as well, and this appeal was docketed as CBCA 5206. Aulet has now moved the Board to dismiss both cases with prejudice, stating that the parties have settled their dispute.
Accordingly, CBCA 4008 and CBCA 5206 are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in Aulet Contracting, Inc., CBCA 4008, 5206. 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.
