Ball, Ball & Brosamer, Inc. And Ball & Brosamer (Jv) v. The United States

FRIEDMAN, Circuit Judge.

This is an appeal from a decision of the Interior Board of Contract Appeals (Board) dismissing appeals in two consolidated cases from decisions of the contracting officer denying the contractor’s claims for additional compensation. The ground of dismissal was that the claims were not properly certified under the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 (Act), 41 U.S.C. § 605(c)(1) (1982), because the certifications of the claims were not signed by a person authorized to certify claims under the Act. Appeal of Ball, Ball & Brosamer, Inc., 88-3 BCA (CCH) ¶ 20,844 (1988). We affirm.
