                                 ORDER
 
        On August 21, 1991, appellant, the Nova Group, Incorporated,
   filed an  appeal at  this Board,  from the contracting  officer's
   decision  denying  appellant's  claim of  $81,343  for  equitable
   adjustment  under Contract GS-11P-88-MKC-O224.  That contract was
   for upgrade of  the steam distribution system in  the twelfth and
   fifteenth  street  tunnels,  Central  and  West  Heating  Plants,
   Washington, DC.  
 
        The contracting officer  had ordered Appellant to  install a
   new   circuit  for  the  fan  motors  connected  to  the  system.
   Appellant  claimed that the contracting officer's direction was a
   constructive  change  to  the  contract, requiring  an  equitable
   adjustment.   In  denying  the  claim,  the  contracting  officer
   maintained  that the  ordered work  was within  the scope  of the
   contract.  
 
        On  February  12,  1993, the  contracting  officer  issued a
   contract   modification,  paying   appellant   $63,000  in   full
   settlement of  the claim.  On  March 16, the  parties submitted a
   stipulation   for  dismissal  of   this  appeal  with  prejudice.
   Consequently, pursuant to the stipulation of the parties and Rule
   28(a)(1), this appeal is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
