                ORDER PURSUANT TO BOARD RULE l(a)(5)
           DIRECTING CONTRACTING OFFICER TO ISSUE DECISION

       The contractor filed, under Rule l(a)(5), a request for an order directing the
contracting officer to render a decision on a 12 February 2018 claim for compensable
delay associated with additional asbestos removal in the amount of $126,038. The
contractor did not propose a date by which the contracting officer should issue a
decision. The government has advised that a final decision on the claim will be issued
by 29 June 2018. We deem this date reasonable.

       Accordingly, the Board hereby directs the contracting officer to issue a decision
on the contractor's claim by 29 June 2018.

        This Order completes all necessary action by the Board. If the contracting
officer fails to comply with this Order, such failure will be deemed a decision by the
contracting officer denying the claim, and the contractor may appeal to this Board or
sue in the United States Court of Federal Claims pursuant to the Contract Disputes
Act, 41 U.S.C. §§ 7103(±)(5) and 7104.

       Dated: 16 May 2018
