CBCA 7789

GRANTED IN PART: February 25, 2025 CBCA 7789 NORTHLAND/CIANBRO, A JOINT VENTURE, Appellant, v. GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION, Respondent. Howard S. Stevens and Meighan G. Burton of Pascale Stevens, LLC, Baltimore, MD, counsel for Appellant. James F.H. Scott, Office of General Counsel, General Services Administration, Washington, DC, counsel for Respondent. Before Board Judges LESTER, RUSSELL, and GOODMAN. LESTER, Board Judge. On February 10, 2025, appellant, Northland/Cianbro, a Joint Venture (N/C JV), and respondent, the General Services Administration (GSA), filed a joint motion requesting the entry of a stipulated judgment in N/C JV’s favor in the amount of $1,425,000, with payment to be made through the permanent indefinite judgment fund, 31 U.S.C. § 1304 (2018). Although the parties originally indicated that the judgment amount was inclusive of all interest under the Contract Disputes Act (CDA), 41 U.S.C. § 7109, that had accrued before the date of the Board’s issuance of the stipulated judgment, they did not originally address whether and, if so, when interest would accrue after entry of the judgment. The parties subsequently filed a clarification, agreeing that, if any portion of the judgment remains unpaid thirty days after the date on which the judgment is entered, CDA interest will begin CBCA 7789 2 to accrue on the unpaid judgment amount. The parties have also represented that each party will bear its own costs, attorney fees, and expenses incurred as part of this appeal. The parties have further stipulated that they will not seek reconsideration of, or relief from, and will not appeal, the Board’s entry of judgment awarding the stipulated amount to N/C JV. See Rule 25(b) (48 CFR 6101.25(b) (2024)). Decision The appeal is GRANTED IN PART. GSA shall pay $1,425,000, inclusive of accrued interest under the CDA, to N/C JV in full settlement of CBCA 7789, with each party to bear its own costs, attorney fees, and expenses, with payment to be made through the permanent indefinite judgment fund, 31 U.S.C. § 1304. If any portion of the judgment amount remains unpaid thirty days after the date of this judgment, CDA interest will start to accrue on the unpaid portion of the judgment amount at that time. This payment shall be made in accordance with 41 U.S.C. § 7108 and may be made from the permanent indefinite judgment fund, 31 U.S.C. § 1304. Harold D. Lester, Jr. HAROLD D. LESTER, JR.
