Sencindiver, Vice President of Keating Development Company, Bala Cynwyd, PA, appearing for Appellant. Diana Parks Curran, Office of Regional Counsel, General Services Administration, Atlanta, GA, counsel for Respondent. Before Board Judges DANIELS (Chairman), PARKER, and BORWICK. DANIELS, Board Judge. Keating Development Company entered into a contract with the General Services Administration to construct and lease to the agency a building in Pensacola, Florida. During construction, Keating asserted to the contracting officer a claim for $39,432, representing the costs allegedly incurred in removing an underground obstruction which appeared to be remnants of a sub- basement of the hotel which had formerly stood on the site. The contracting officer denied the claim, and Keating appealed her decision to this Board. Shortly after the case was filed, the parties settled their differences. They jointly asked the Board to adopt a stipulation that the agency shall pay to Keating the sum of ten thousand dollars, inclusive of any and all costs, including interest, in full and final settlement of this claim. Decision As requested by the parties, the Board adopts the parties' stipulation by decision. The agency shall pay to the appellant ten thousand dollars no later than Monday, December 16, 1996.
