   Before Board Judges NEILL, VERGILIO, and GOODMAN.
 
   GOODMAN, Board Judge.
 
        This  case involves  a dispute  between appellant,  DeTamble
   Enterprises,  Inc.   (Detamble),  and  respondent,   the  General
   Services Administration (GSA), from the performance of a contract
   for the  renovation and asbestos  abatement of the 17th  Floor of
   the Byron G. Rogers Federal Building in Denver, Colorado. 
 
        On  November  6,  1993,  DeTamble  filed  an  appeal of  the
   contracting officer's  decision denying its claim  for additional
   costs  incurred   during  the   performance   of  its   contract.
   DeTamble's  appeal   claims  entitlement  to   $166,936.65,  plus
   interest.    On  August  26-27,  1995,  the  Board  conducted  an
   alternative dispute resolution  (ADR) proceeding.  On  August 27,
   1995,  at  the  conclusion of  the  ADR  proceeding,  the parties
   informed  the Board  that they  had reached  a settlement  of the
   appeal.
 
        On  September 12,  1995,  the  parties  filed  a  settlement
   agreement  and requested an entry  of judgment in accordance with
   the agreement.  The agreement provides, in pertinent part:
 
        GSA and DeTamble agree as follows:
 
        1.  GSA agrees to pay and DeTamble agrees to accept the
        lump  sum of $49,645.10,  inclusive of interest, costs,
        and attorneys fees in full and final settlement  of all
        disputes arising under or related to GSBCA No. 12669.
 
        2.  GSA  and DeTamble upon the joint  execution of this
        Settlement Agreement agree to submit GSBCA No. 12669 to
        the GSBCA for decision in accordance with the terms  of
        this  Settlement Agreement.  Both GSA and DeTamble will
        submit certificates  of finality  to the  GSBCA with  a
        request that the GSBCA certify the amount of $49,645.10
        (inclusive of  interest,  costs,  and  attorney  fees),
        which is  set forth  above in Paragraph  No. 1,  to the
        United States General Accounting Office for payment.
 
        3.  If payment of the settlement amount ($49,645.10) is
        made to  DeTamble later than 30 calendar  days from the
        effective      date       of      this       settlement
        agreement,[[foot #] 1]      then     DeTamble      will
        also be entitled  to interest on the  settlement amount
        ($49,645.10)  at the rates set by  the Secretary of the
        Treasury  [pursuant to Public  Law 92-41 (85  Stat. 97)
        for  the Renegotiation Board]  beginning on the thirty-
        first (31st) day, until paid.
 
        Rule  36(e)  permits   the  Board  to  adopt   the  parties'
   stipulation of settlement, by decision, provided the parties make
   the  representations  as  contained  in   their  certificates  of
   finality.  That  rule further  provides that  such decisions  are
   adjudications of the appeals on their merits.  In accordance with
   Rule 36(e), the Board adopts by decision the parties' stipulation
   of settlement  and enters judgment as requested.
 
                                Decision
 
        Based upon the stipulation for entry of judgment, the appeal
   is GRANTED and judgment is entered for appellant in the amount of
   $49,645.10, inclusive of interest on that sum through October 12,
   1995,  costs, and  attorney  fees.   If  not paid  by  that date,
   appellant  shall be entitled to interest pursuant to the parties'
   agreement.
