                 OPINION BY ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE CLARKE

       In our 15 December 2015 opinion in ASBCA Nos. 57675, 57806, 58149,
58150, 58151, and 58174, we sustained these six appeals in part and remanded the
appeals to the parties to resolve quantum. On 15 January 2016, appellant filed a
motion for reconsideration of our 15 December opinion. Subsequently, the parties
notified the Board that they have resolved the quantum aspect of these appeals and
have requested the Board to issue a decision in the nature of a consent judgment. In
accordance with its usual practice, the Board has issued a new docket number to the
quantum phase of this dispute: ASBCA No. 60474.

       It is the Board's decision, pursuant to 41 U.S.C. §§ 7105(e), 7108(b), and the
parties' stipulation and agreement, that ASBCA No. 60474 is sustained. In the nature
of a consent judgment, the Board makes a monetary award to appellant in the amount
of $2,911,658.27. If not paid by 91 days from the date of this decision, interest shall
be paid on this amount pursuant to 41 U.S.C. § 7109 until date of payment.
      Appellant's motion for reconsideration of ASBCA Nos. 57675, 57806, 58149,
58150, 58151, and 58174 is dismissed as moot.
