        These appeals  arise out  of contract  number GS-10P-94-LTC-
   0041,  for  the    construction  of  the  United  States  Federal
   Courthouse in Portland,  Oregon.  This contract,  between Hoffman
   Construction  Company,  appellant,   and  the  General   Services
   Administration (GSA),  respondent, generated  various claims  for
   equitable  adjustments  for  additional  costs  incurred  by  the
   contractor and  its subcontractors as a result  of alleged design
   defects, contributing to delay and  the need to accelerate work.

   and, on May 25,  1999, filed a copy  of their settlement agreement
   and joint stipulations of judgment with  the Board.  Specifically,
   they have stipulated to  the entry of judgment  in each appeal  in
   the  following amounts, which are inclusive of all attorneys' fees
   and  costs.   The  parties have  also agreed  on   the  dates when
   interest pursuant to the Contract Disputes Act of  1978, 41 U.S.C.
      601-613 (1994), shall commence:
