GRANTED IN PART: October 3, 1996 GSBCA 12860 STRAND HUNT CONSTRUCTION, Appellant, 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 DeKo Enterprises, Inc., to perform demolition work on the contract. On March 29, 1993, Strand Hunt submitted to the contracting officer a claim on behalf of DeKo Enterprises in the amount of $397,268. The claim was based on delay and inefficiency costs allegedly incurred regarding the demolition work. The contracting officer denied this claim in its entirety. Strand Hunt appealed his decision to this Board. 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, and then engaged in mediation with the judge's assistance. 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 $260,000, plus interest on this amount (from March 31, 1993) at the rates set by the Secretary of Treasury applicable to Contract Disputes Act claims. The settlement agreement and the Stipulation were both filed on October 3, 1996. Decision The appeal is GRANTED IN PART. Judgment is entered in favor of appellant and against respondent, in the amount of $260,000. Interest pursuant to the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, 41 U.S.C. 611 (1994), shall run on this amount from March 31, 1993, until paid. Rule 36(e). _________________________ STEPHEN M.
