            Respondents.

Submitted by Alan G. Krams, for respondents.
MEMORANDUM:
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed,
with costs.  The City of New York Contract Dispute Resolution
Board rationally determined that a discrepancy between a diagram
and notes on the contract drawing that is the subject of this

dispute created an ambiguity in the contract terms, which
petitioner L&L Painting Co. failed to clarify prior to bidding as
the contract required.  Therefore, the Board rationally
disapproved the claim for additional compensation.
