                ORDER PURSUANT TO BOARD RULE l(a)(5)
           DIRECTING CONTRACTING OFFICER TO ISSUE DECISION

       Fluor Federal Solutions, LLC (Fluor or contractor) filed a request, under
Rule l(a)(5), for an order directing the contracting officer (CO) to render a decision on
a December 29, 2017 certified claim no later than September 28, 2018. In its
September 4, 2018 response, the government stated a contracting officer's final
decision will be issued by September 28, 2018. We deem this date reasonable.
Accordingly, the Board hereby directs the CO to issue a decision on the contractor's
claim by September 28, 2018.

       This order completes all necessary action by the Board. If the CO fails to comply
with this order, such failure will be deemed a decision by the CO denying the claim, and
the contractor may appeal to this Board or sue in the United States Court of Federal
Claims pursuant to the Contract Disputes Act, 41 U.S.C. §§ 7I03(f)(5) and 7104.
