                                   ORDER

    On June 11, 1997, Grunley Construction Co., Inc. filed this
appeal involving a contract with the respondent, the General
Services Administration.  Grunley filed this appeal based upon a
deemed denial of two items in dispute.  Thereafter, the contracting
officer concluded that Grunley was entitled to the amount requested
on one aspect of the claim.  The parties entered into a bilateral
contract modification increasing the contract price by that amount. 
The parties then resolved the remaining item in dispute.  The
parties entered into a bilateral contract modification increasing
the contract price by an agreed-upon amount (less than that sought
by Grunley in its claim).  The parties jointly request that the
appeal be dismissed with prejudice.

    Accordingly, the appeal is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
