                                   v.
 
                    GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION,

   DANIELS, Board Judge (Chairman).
 
        This case involves a claim made by Twigg Corporation (Twigg)
   under a contract  with the General Services  Administration (GSA)
   for the renovation of  Federal Office Building #6 in  Washington,
   D.C.  The claim is  for an equitable adjustment to the  contract,
   in the amount of $18,088,  to compensate Twigg and its electrical
   subcontractor,  Walker/Seal, for  additional  costs arising  from
   furnishing  and installing,  at GSA's  direction, light  fixtures
   with a trim different from the one required by the contract.
 
        Twigg  elected to have  the case considered  under the small
   claims procedure.  Consequently, the Board's decision in the case
   is being issued by a single judge.  41 U.S.C.   608 (1994); Board
   Rule 202 (48 CFR 6102.2 (1998)).
 
        The  parties  also   elected  to  use   alternative  dispute
   resolution techniques in  the case.   Rule 204.  After  a session
   which  included both neutral  case evaluation and  mediation, the
   parties settled their  dispute.  They have now filed a motion for
   a  stipulated award, Rule  136(e), in which  they jointly request
   the entry of judgment  set out below.  They have  also agreed not
   to request reconsideration of this decision and not to appeal the
   decision.
 
 
                                Decision
 
        The appeal  is GRANTED.   In full  settlement of  the claims
   contained in  GSBCA 15014,  GSA shall  pay to  Twigg  the sum  of
   twenty thousand five  hundred dollars and no  cents ($20,500.00),
   inclusive of interest.
