Contract Disputes Improvement Act of 1984

Summary

Contract Disputes Improvement Act of 1983 - Amends the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 to eliminate certain certification requirements for claims by contractors against the Government for more than $50,000. Requires that prospective members of agency boards of contract appeals be examined in the same manner as are prospective administrative law judges. Provides that a decision by such a board on any question of fact shall not be final and conclusive if it is clearly erroneous, rather than: (1) so grossly erroneous as to imply bad faith; or (2) not supported by substantial evidence. Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to determine and publish in the Federal Register the rates of interest to be paid on amounts determined to be due to contractors for each six-month period beginning on January 1, 1984. Prohibits the payment of interest for any period before the cost on which the contractor's claim is based is actually incurred by the contractor.
