Client Alert | 1 min read | 05.20.24
In the Crowell & Moring case Parsons Government Services, Inc. v. Department of Energy, CBCA 7822, the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (Board) denied the government’s motion to dismiss concerning Parsons’ claim for additional incentive fee in connection with its performance operating a salt waste processing facility at DOE’s Savannah River Site. The underlying contract relates to a first-of-its-kind facility to treat and reduce liquid radioactivity in nuclear waste. In its decision, the Board rejected the government’s motion to dismiss, holding that Parsons had pled sufficient facts to support its claims regarding superior knowledge, impracticability of performance, and breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing.
