v.
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY,
Respondent.
Chizoma B. Onyems, President of Prime Tech Construction LLC, Auburn, CA,
appearing for Appellant.

Before Board Judges ZISCHKAU, SULLIVAN and CHADWICK.
CHADWICK, Board Judge.
Prime Tech Construction LLC (Prime Tech) timely seeks reconsideration of our
decision denying these three appeals. We may “reconsider a decision . . . for a reason
recognized in Rule 59 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Arguments and evidence
previously presented are not grounds for reconsideration.” Board Rule 26(a) (48 CFR
6101.26(a) (2019)); see also Exxon Shipping Co. v. Baker, 554 U.S. 471, 485 n.5 (2008) (a
motion for reconsideration “may not be used to . . . present evidence that could have been
raised prior to the entry of judgment”). We deny reconsideration.
We dismissed CBCA 6682 and denied CBCA 6765 and CBCA 6767. We found that
Prime Tech cited (1) no evidence to support recovery of the costs claimed in CBCA 6765 and
CBCA 6682-R, 6765-R, 6767-R 2
(2) no evidence that its failure to complete the construction project was excused, in support
of its appeal of the default termination in CBCA 6767.
Prime Tech makes no arguments regarding the dismissal of CBCA 6682. Its motion
for reconsideration sets forth an “unlawful evidence suppression ground” and a “Board’s lack
of consistency ground.” In the first argument, Prime Tech states it “has attached
EXHIBIT C equipment, employees and membrane rolls not covered in snow located at the
WAPA facility in Hayden CO proved Prime Tech mobilized. Defendant cannot suppress
any evidence without motion to the Board or the Court.” It appears that Prime Tech wishes
us to consider four new photographs attached to its motion. This submission is “simply too
late,” Parsons Evergreene, LLC v. Secretary of the Air Force, 968 F.3d 1359, 1368 (Fed. Cir.
2020), and the images would not have affected our decision in any event.
In its second argument, Prime Tech says it “is prejudiced due to” what it terms “lack
of Consistency” between our decision and prior decisions. Prime Tech does not identify any
clear error of law. Mere, continuing disagreement with our resolution of the appeals is “not
grounds for reconsideration.” Rule 26(a).
Prime Tech concludes by asserting that it “submitted all necessary records [for] the
written decision before [the] case closed.” We explained in our original decision why we did
not rule for Prime Tech on the evidence before us.
Decision
We DENY the request for reconsideration.
