                                ORDER OF DISMISSAL

       By letter dated 30 June 2017, appellant filed a notice of appeal with the Board.
The notice of appeal stated that appellant was appealing a contracting officer's final
decision, dated 7 April 2017, which denied appellant's claim in the amount of$134,255.
By letter dated 10 August 2017, the parties jointly moved to dismiss this appeal without
prejudice, indicating that appellant's original submission was not certified as required by
the Contract Disputes Act (CDA), and that the contracting officer's response to that
submission did not set forth appellant's appeal rights. The parties further indicated that
appellant would be submitting additional costs and information to the contracting officer,
along with a CDA certification, for the contracting officer's consideration in accordance
with the CDA.

       In view of the foregoing, this appeal is dismissed from the Board's docket without
prejudice to the contractor's submission of a claim to the contracting officer.

       Dated: 16 August 2017
