United States Court of Federal Claims October 31, 2002, No. 97-251C (Cross Petroleum, Inc. v. United States)

OPINION

MILLER, Judge.

After trial on the validity of a default termination, this case comes before the court for decision. The Government attempts to sustain the termination based on the contracting officer’s lack of confidence in the contractor’s ability to make progress in remediating an environmental blight that the contractor admittedly caused.
