Schrader, Office of General Counsel, General Services Administration, Washington, DC, counsel for Respondent. Before Board Judges BORWICK, NEILL, and VERGILIO. NEILL, Board Judge. This appeal involves a claim for equitable adjustment for additional costs allegedly incurred by appellant due to delays encountered from June 4, 1994, through October 31, 1995, in work called for under a contract between the General Services Administration (GSA) and appellant for renovations to a central heating plant located in Washington, D.C. The parties have recently advised the Board that the claims asserted in this appeal have been settled in full. They ask, therefore, that judgment be entered in accordance with Rule 36(e) of the Board's Rules of Procedure in the amount of $731,240 plus interest. Rule 36(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., PJR Construction Corp., GSBCA 6062, et al., 85-1 BCA 17,752. As part of their joint stipulation, the parties have agreed that on $350,000 of the judgment amount, interest shall accrue as of March 6, 1995, until paid; on $278,000 of the judgment amount, interest shall accrue as of October 1, 1996 (if payment has not been made by that date), until paid; and on the remaining $103,240, appellant will receive no interest. Both parties have certified that they will not seek reconsideration of or appeal this decision. In accordance with Rule 36(e), the Board adopts the parties' stipulation by decision and enters judgment as requested. Decision Based upon the stipulation for entry of judgment, this appeal is GRANTED and judgment is entered for appellant in the amount of $731,240 plus interest on the amounts agreed at the rates provided pursuant to the Contract Disputes Act, 41 U.S.C. 611 (1994). The Board will forward the certificates of finality, together with an authenticated copy of this decision to the United States Department of the Treasury for payment from the permanent indefinite judgment fund, 31 U.S.C. 1304 (1994).
