Coburn Contractors (contractor) filed eight notices of appeal concerning a project
order, 540-CSI-201, under contract VA244-12-C-0175 with the Department of Veterans
Affairs (agency). The contract involved the planning, scheduling, and construction of the
community center at Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Clarksburg, West Virginia. The
parties resolved the disputes, involving matters of time and money, through mediation with
Board Judge Lester. On June 27, 2016, the Board received from the parties a stipulated (or
consent) judgment. The Government shall pay the contractor $442,665.69. If payment is
made without use of the judgment fund, interest under the Contract Disputes Act, 41 U.S.C.
§ 7109 (2012), would accrue from the ninety-first day after the date of this decision until
paid. If payment is made with the judgment fund, interest would accrue from the ninety-first
day after the contractor provides the agency with necessary information to initiate that
payment process until paid. The parties will not seek reconsideration of, or relief from the
Boardâs decision, and will not appeal the decision. The parties note that the Government
may utilize the permanent indefinite judgment fund. 31 U.S.C. § 1304; 41 U.S.C. § 7108.
