   Before Board Judges DANIELS (Chairman), BORWICK, and VERGILIO.
 
   DANIELS, Board Judge.
 
        D.  L. Woods Construction, Inc., appealed a General Services
   Administration contracting  officer's denial  of a  claim in  the
   amount of $545,035 for an  equitable adjustment to a contract for
   restoration and improvements  to the United States  Courthouse in
   Indianapolis, Indiana.
 
        Soon after the appeal was filed, the parties asked the Board
   to suspend proceedings to afford  them time in which to negotiate
   a settlement.   The parties have now  filed a joint motion  for a
   stipulated  award  of   $545,035  from  the  respondent   to  the
   appellant.   In the motion, the parties  state that they will not
   seek  reconsideration  of,  or  relief  from,  a  Board  decision
   adopting this  stipulation,  and  they  will not  appeal  such  a
   decision.  Rule 136(e) (48 CFR 6101.36(e) (1997)).
 
                                Decision
 
        The  appeal is GRANTED.  The General Services Administration
   shall pay to D. L. Woods Construction, Inc., $545,035.
