   Before Board Judges DANIELS (Chairman), NEILL, and GOODMAN.
 
   DANIELS, Board Judge (Chairman).
 
        Twigg  Corporation (Twigg)  supplied  and furnished  certain
   labor, equipment, and materials to and performed certain work for
   the  General Services Administration  (GSA) under a  contract for
   the renovation  of Federal Office  Building Number 6,  located at
   Fourth and C Streets, S.W., in Washington, D.C.
 
        During  the course of construction, Twigg encountered a site
   condition which allegedly differed from what it expected based on
   its review  of the  contract  drawings and  specifications and  a
   limited pre-bid survey of the site.  On or about August 27, 1998,
   Twigg   submitted  to  the  GSA  contracting  officer  a  revised
   certified claim seeking  an equitable adjustment to  the contract
   price,  in the amount of $76,488,  for additional costs allegedly
   incurred   due  to  the  differing  site  condition  and  certain
   constructive  changes.  The costs  stemmed from Twigg's having to
   saw-cut cast-in-place concrete walls.
 
        On March  17, 2000, Twigg  filed, with the  General Services
   Board  of  Contract  Appeals,  an  appeal  from  the  contracting
   officer's deemed denial of this claim.
 
        On May  1, 2001, the parties submitted  to the Board a joint
   motion  for a  stipulated  award.   The  motion  states that  the
   parties  have agreed  to an  entry of  judgment in the  amount of
   $60,000 plus  interest from  the  date of  the revised  certified
   claim until the principal amount is paid.  The motion also states
   that the parties will, upon issuance of a Board  decision in this
   case,  immediately  submit  certificates of  finality  as  to the
   decision.
 
                                Decision
 
        The appeal  is GRANTED IN PART.  GSA  shall pay to Twigg the
   principal  amount  of $60,000.    GSA  shall  also pay  to  Twigg
   interest  on  this  amount.    Interest  shall  be  at  the  rate
   established by the  Secretary of the Treasury  pursuant to Public
   Law 92-41  (85 Stat. 97)  for the Renegotiation Board,  and shall
   run from August 27, 1998, until the date of payment.  Rule 136(e)
   (48 CFR 6101.36(e) (2000)).
