the headquarters of the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and 
Explosives.  Walsh/Davis submitted to the GSA contracting officer numerous claims relating

2 CBCA 1460 
The parties have been working diligently to resolve voluntarily the matters at issue in 
this case.  They first divided the case into its constituent direct cost and delay/inefficiency 
claims and then proceeded to negotiate most of the direct cost claims. 
The parties have informed the Board that they have resolved most of the direct cost 
claims.  On July 14, 2009, they jointly moved for a stipulated award as to the settled matters. 
With regard to claims they have identified as numbers 1-3, 5-22, 23 (part), 24-26, 30-35, 37, 
39-48, 50-95, 97, 100-10, 112-14, 116-27, 129-32, 134-36, 138-44, 146-50, 152-67, 169-70, 
and 177-78; and lump sums 4-5 and 7-10, they have jointly asked the Board to enter 
judgment for Walsh/Davis in the amount of $4,089,962.42.   This amount includes costs, 
attorney fees, and interest, except that if the amount is not paid by August 31, 2009, interest 
shall accrue from that date until the date of payment. The parties have stated that neither of 
them will seek reconsideration or relief from a decision which directs payment from the 
permanent indefinite judgment fund in the specified amount, and neither of them will appeal 
such a decision. 
On June 3, 2009, the Board issued a decision, pursuant to the parties’ May 29, 2009, 
motion for a stipulated award, as to matters essentially identical to those covered in the 
July 14 motion.  The July 14 motion notes that the May 29 motion requested an amount 
which included mathematical errors and that the parties have settled one claim since May 29 
and desire to have the amount of that settlement included in a decision which makes a 
stipulated award.  The July 14 motion asks that the Board vacate its June 3 decision and issue 
a new decision, providing for payment of the newly-calculated amount. 
Decision 
The decision issued by the Board in this case on June 3, 2009, is VACATED . 
This appeal is GRANTED IN PART . As to claims numbered 1-3, 5-22, 23 (part), 
24-26, 30-35, 37, 39-48, 50-95, 97, 100-10, 112-14, 116-27, 129-32, 134-36, 138-44, 146-50, 
152-67, 169-70, and 177-78; and lump sums 4-5 and 7-10, GSA shall pay to Walsh/Davis 
$4,089,962.42.  This amount includes costs, attorney fees, and interest, except that if the 
amount is not paid by August 31, 2009, interest shall accrue from that date until the date of 
payment, at the rates specified pursuant to 41 U.S.C. § 611 (2006).  Payment shall be made 
from the permanent indefinite judgment fund.  31 U.S.C. § 1304.
