Contractor Not Entitled to Reimbursement of Tax Expenditures After Failing to Negotiate Payments in Supplemental Lease Agreement; CBCA 5506, JBG/Federal Center L.L.C. v. General Services Administration and Department of Transportation

Appeal of the contracting officer’s denial of claims seeking the reimbursement of tax payments on a facility leased by the government is denied in part, where the contract clearly stated which portions of the facility were eligible for tax reimbursement and where the contractor failed to negotiate further reimbursement when it entered into a separate agreement for exclusive use of the facility’s parking garage.
