   Before Board Judges BORWICK, NEILL, and DeGRAFF.
 
   NEILL, Board Judge.
 
       This case concerns a dispute between appellant, Hensel Phelps
   Construction Co.  (HPCC), and the General Services Administration
   (GSA).  The dispute arose in relation to  GSA contract number GS-
   08P-96-JFC-0006 for the construction of the David Scaggs Research
   Center in Boulder, Colorado.   It concerns a claim  in the amount
   of $1,030,530  for impact and  delay costs said to  be associated
   with certain design  deficiencies relating to  resilient flooring
   and for impact costs associated with cooling tower resequencing. 
 
       HPCC's  claim  was denied  by  the contracting  officer  in a
   decision  dated November  22,  1999.   The  contractor filed  its
   notice appealing that decision by letter dated December 16, 1999.
 
 
       On  June 20,  2001, counsel  for  the parties  filed a  joint
   motion for stipulated judgment. The motion advised the Board that
   the parties  have reached  a settlement in  this appeal  and have
   agreed to stipulate to the entry of judgement as follows: 
       The  General  Services  Administration  will  pay  Hensel
       Phelps  Construction   Company  the   sum  of   $560,448,
       inclusive  of any and all costs,  and fees, with Contract
       Disputes  Act interest beginning to accrue on November 1,
       2000.  
 
       The  parties  also represent  and stipulate  that neither
       party will seek  reconsideration of, or relief  from, the
       Board's  decision, and that neither party will appeal the
       decision.  
 
       We grant  the motion for  stipulated judgment.   Rule  136(e)
   permits   the  Board  to   adopt  the  parties'   stipulation  of
   settlement, by decision,  and it provides that such decisions are
   adjudications  of  the  appeals  on their  merits.    See,  e.g.,
   Biospherics, Inc. v. General Services Administration, GSBCA 15477
   (Feb.  16, 2001);  Thermal Management  Inc.  v. General  Services
   Administration, GSBCA 14558, 99-1 BCA   30,354; Earl C. Wilson v.
   General Services Administration, GSBCA 13152,  et al., 98-2 BCA  
   29,934.  
 
       This appeal  is  GRANTED  IN  PART  in  accordance  with  the
   parties' stipulated settlement.  The award is to be paid from the
   permanent  indefinite judgment  fund, 31  U.S.C.    1304 (1994  &
   Supp. V 1999).
