contract shall be in writing and shall be submitted to the CO for a decision. The

the commencement of an appeal to the Contract Appeals Board as provided by
D.C. Official Code § 2-360.04.
(6) If a contractor is unable to support any part of its claim and it is determined that
the inability is attributable to a material misrepresentation of fact or fraud on the
part of the Contractor, the Contractor shall be liable to the District for an amount
equal to the unsupported part of the claim in addition to all costs to the District
attributable to the cost of reviewing that part of the Contractor’s claim. Liability
under this paragraph (a)(6) shall be determined within six (6) years of the
commission of the misrepresentation of fact or fraud.
(7) Pending final decision of an appeal, action, or final settlement, the Contractor

relating to a contract.
