GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION, Respondent. Stephen J. McKendrick, Vice President of Daniel J. Keating Company, Ardmore, PA, appearing for Appellant. Robert J. McCall, Office of Regional Counsel, General Services Administration, Philadelphia, PA, counsel for Respondent. DANIELS, Board Judge (Chairman). ORDER Daniel J. Keating Company appealed a General Services Administration contracting officer's decision denying a claim made by the company under a contract between the parties for renovation of a building in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The claim was in the amount of $38,728.40. It primarily reflects costs allegedly incurred due to Government-caused inefficiencies in work on the building. The parties settled the dispute, with the agency agreeing to pay the contractor a sum of money and the contractor agreeing to have the case dismissed. The parties have asked that the dismissal be without prejudice to its reinstatement, with the dismissal to become one with prejudice as soon as payment of the sum is made. The case is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. As requested, the dismissal shall become one with prejudice as soon as payment of the agreed-upon sum is made. _________________________ STEPHEN M.
