Before Board Judges VERGILIO, DRUMMOND, and ZISCHKAU.

VERGILIO, Board Judge.

This case involves a timely appeal from a deemed denial of a certified claim to a contracting officer. Pursuant to Board Rule 25(b) (48 CFR 6101.25(b) (2021)), on March 7, 2023, the parties filed a joint motion for a stipulated award. As stipulated, the appeal is GRANTED IN PART in the amount of $862,451, inclusive of costs, fees, and interest, although Contract Disputes Act interest, 41 U.S.C. § 7109 (2018), will begin to accrue on May 23, 2023, if payment is not made by that date.

This is a verbatim capture of the text layer of the Board's own document in Hamilton Pacific Chamberlain, LLC, CBCA 7632. 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.
