DISMISSED: May 22, 1995 GSBCA 12458 NORTHERN VIRGINIA SERVICE CORPORATION, Appellant, v. GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION, Respondent. Timothy Sullivan and Katherine S. Nucci of Dykema Gossett, Washington, DC, counsel for Appellant. Martin A. Hom, Office of General Counsel, General Services Administration, Washington, DC, counsel for Respondent. GOODMAN, Board Judge. ORDER On September 23, 1987, respondent, the General Services Administration (GSA), awarded a contract to appellant, Northern Virginia Service Corporation (NVSC), to provide custodial services at the Columbia Plaza Building in Washington, DC. On April 8, 1993, NVSC submitted a certified claim to the contracting officer in the amount of $129,379.92. NVSC asserted that GSA's revised wage adjustments for certain option years under the contract were improper, that NVSC had incurred increased costs due to the restroom changes for which it had not been reimbursed, and that GSA's administrative offset constituted an improper appropriation of monies under NVSC's separate contract with GSA. On June 8, 1993, the contracting officer issued a final decision denying NVSC's claim, and on June 11, 1993, NVSC filed an appeal with this Board. On September 30, 1993, the Board convened the parties in a conference call and established a schedule for further proceedings and set a hearing date. On March 15, 1994, respondent filed a motion for summary relief or, in the alternative, for partial summary relief. After appellant responded to the motion, the Board held an alternative dispute resolution proceeding on July 19, 1994. The parties thereafter informed the Board that they were engaged in settlement discussions. The Board advised the parties that if they were unable to resolve the appeal by settlement discussions, the parties should so advise the Board, and the Board would then rule on the motion for summary relief and schedule further proceedings. During the period August 1994 to April 1995, the parties were engaged in settlement discussions, and on April 14, 1995, they advised the Board that a settlement had been reached. On May 19, 1995, a Joint Motion to Dismiss was filed with the Board. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 28(a), this appeal is DISMISSED. ________________________ ALLAN H. GOODMAN Board Judge
