   DeGRAFF, Board Judge.
 
        On  July 2,  1992,  Ayer Electric,  Inc.  (Ayer) filed  this
   appeal from a contracting officer's decision denying Ayer's claim
   for  an equitable adjustment to the  price of contract GS-05P-89-
   GBC-0164.
 
        On  October 13,  1993, the  parties  submitted a  settlement
   agreement to the Board, which provides that  the General Services
   Administration (GSA) agrees  to an entry of award  to Ayer in the
   amount  of $36,000,  plus interest  accruing  after November  12,
   1993,  pursuant to the Contract Disputes Act  of 1978.  41 U.S.C.
     611 (1988).  In accordance with Rule 36(e), the parties request
   that the Board adopt their stipulation by decision.  GSA and Ayer
   have executed Certificates of Finality.
 
        Pursuant  to  Rule   36(e),  the  Board  adopts   the  joint
   stipulation  of the parties  by decision  and enters  judgment as
   requested.  Rule 36(e)  provides that the Board may so  adopt the
   stipulation of the parties,  by decision, and that such  decision
   is an  adjudication of the appeal  on its merits.   E.g., Altgelt
   Investments, Inc., GSBCA 9980 (Feb. 13, 1991); Newco, Inc., GSBCA
   9711 (June 29, 1990).

        In accordance with the foregoing,  the appeal is GRANTED  IN
   PART.  Judgment is entered for appellant in the amount of $36,000
   plus interest  accruing from November  12, 1993, pursuant  to the
