DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE: October 26, 1993 GSBCA 10363 AMERICAN CONTRACTORS, Appellant, v. GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION, Respondent. Paul Schneider, Jr., representative of American Contractors, Alton, IL, appearing for Appellant. Robert W. Schlattman, Office of General Counsel, General Services Administration, Washington, DC, appearing for Respondent. NEILL, Board Judge. ORDER In this appeal, the appellant, American Contractors, has challenged the termination for default of a contract it entered into with the General Services Administration (GSA) for modifications of the Department of Agriculture laboratory in the Federal Center at St. Louis, Missouri. On July 19, 1989, GSA terminated this contract on the ground that appellant provided a false certification in its proposal. Appellant has contended throughout this appeal that it did not default on the contract, that it continuously tendered performance, that it perfectly pledged superior assets, that it did not cause excess reprocurement costs, that it informed GSA of the status of its employee, Paul Schneider, Jr., and that it was certified eligible to contract. On Friday, October 22, 1993, after extensive negotiations and numerous status conferences with the Board, the representatives of the parties filed a motion requesting the Board to dismiss this case with prejudice in accordance with a settlement agreement executed and dated September 20, 1993. That agreement provides that the parties wish amicably to resolve and settle the dispute which is the subject of this case as well as any and all existing and/or potential claims of appellant arising under or related to the contract. Accordingly, they have agreed, inter alia, that the termination of appellant's contract with GSA for default is converted to a termination for the convenience of GSA at no cost to GSA. Pursuant to the request of the parties, this appeal is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. Rule 28(a).[foot #] 1 _________________________ EDWIN B.
