                          ORDER OF PARTIAL DISMISSAL

        By letter dated September 6, 2022, Yul Lim Construction Co., Ltd. (appellant)
filed a claim with the government requesting time extensions and monetary relief for six
major delay events under the above captioned contract. The government failed to issue a
decision on appellant’s claim in its entirety and this appeal followed. By joint
correspondence dated January 18, 2024, the parties requested that the Board dismiss four
of the six delay issues presently before the Board as these delay issues have been
resolved. The four delay issues that the parties have resolved are: 1) the DOAS and
WAF design change; 2) the paint spray booth design change; 3) COVID-19 delays for
paint spray booth; and 4) severe weather condition delays.

      The parties subsequently agreed to dismiss these issues with prejudice.
Accordingly, the four identified delay issues are dismissed with prejudice. The
remaining monetary claim and two delay events remain before the Board and the current
schedule shall remain in effect.
