Before Board Judges DANIELS (Chairman), HYATT and DeGRAFF.

DANIELS, Board Judge.

     The Department of State (State) entered into a contract with Washington Group
International, Inc. (WGI), for the renovation of the United States Ambassador's residence in
London, England.  WGI claimed that it suffered $964,599 in damages during the completion
of the work required by the contract.  State's contracting officer denied the claim, and WGI
appealed his decision to this Board.

     The parties have settled the case and jointly moved the Board, pursuant to Rule 136(e)
(48 CFR 6101.36(e) (2001)),  to enter judgment pursuant to their stipulation.  They state that
upon entry of the requested stipulated award, they will not seek reconsideration of or relief
from the Board's decision, and they will not appeal that decision.

     The joint motion is granted.  The appeal is GRANTED IN PART.  State shall pay
to WGI the sum of $350,000.  As provided in the settlement agreement, if payment of this
amount is not made by April 4, 2003, State shall also pay to WGI Contract Disputes Act
interest on $350,000 beginning on April 4, 2003, and continuing to accrue until full payment
is made.  Payment shall be made from the permanent indefinite judgment fund, 31 U.S.C. 
 1304 (2000).  Rule 136(e).
