                                   v.
 
                    GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION,
 
                                                Respondent.
 
        Charles  M. Greenberg  of  Triad  Law  Group,  Edmonds,  WA,
   counsel for Appellant.
 
        M.  Leah Wright, Office of General Counsel, General Services
   Administration, Washington, DC, counsel for Respondent.
 
   Before Board Judges DANIELS (Chairman), PARKER, and VERGILIO.
 
   DANIELS, Board Judge.
 
        On  May 7, 1991, the General Services Administration awarded
   to  Strand  Hunt  Construction   a  contract  for   comprehensive
   renovation of a  federal office building in  Seattle, Washington.
   Strand Hunt awarded  a subcontract to  Dwyer Electric to  perform
   electrical work on the contract.
 
        On  November  16,   1993,  Strand  Hunt  submitted   to  the
   contracting officer  a claim on  behalf of Dwyer Electric  in the
   amount  of  $948,098.     The  claim  was  based   on  delay  and
   inefficiency costs  allegedly incurred  regarding the  electrical
   work.  The contracting officer  denied the claim, and Strand Hunt
   appealed his decision.
 
        At the joint request of the parties, a Board judge conducted
   an  alternative dispute resolution (ADR) proceeding in this case.
   The parties submitted position papers  which served as a guide to
   subsequent discussions.  The proceeding was conducted informally,
   without a written record.
 
        The ADR  session resulted  in an  oral settlement  which was
   thereafter confirmed  in a  written settlement  agreement.   That
   document provides that the parties will execute a Stipulation for
   Entry of  Judgment  in favor  of  Strand Hunt  in the  amount  of
   $115,000,  plus interest on this  amount (from November 16, 1993)
   at  the rates  set by  the  Secretary of  Treasury applicable  to
   Contract Disputes  Act  claims.   The  Stipulation was  filed  on
   October 31, 1995.
 
                                Decision
 
        The appeal is GRANTED IN PART.  Judgment is entered in favor
   of appellant and  against respondent, in the amount  of $115,000.
   Interest pursuant to the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, 41 U.S.C.
     611 (1988),  shall run on  this amount from November  16, 1993.
   Rule 36(e).
