Washington Construction Company, Appellant, v. the United States, Appellee, 907 F.2d 158 (Fed. Cir. 1990)

Washington Construction Company (Washington) appeals from the decision of the Corps of Engineers Board of Contract Appeals, Washington Construction Company, ENG BCA 5318, 89-3 BCA p 22,077, denying additional compensation for costs flowing from government-ordered reexcavation of a borrow pit to conform to the lines and grades set forth in the contract, which it claims constituted a constructive change to the contract. We affirm.

Our standard of review is whether the board's decision was fraudulent, arbitrary, capricious, so grossly erroneous as to necessarily imply bad faith, or not supported by substantial evidence. See 41 U.S.C. § 609(b) (1982). We have considered the arguments presented by Washington and are convinced that the board's decision was correct as a matter of law and supported by substantial evidence. See Erickson Air Crane Co. v. United States, 731 F.2d 810, 814 (Fed. Cir. 1984).
