                OPINION BY ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE THRASHER

       The parties have resolved their dispute and request that the Board enter judgment
in favor of appellant.

       It is the Board’s decision, pursuant to 41 U.S.C. §§ 7105(e), 7108(b), and the
parties’ stipulation and agreement, that the appeal is sustained. In the nature of a consent
judgment, the Board makes a monetary award to appellant in the amount of $24,500,000.
Both parties have waived the inclusion of Contract Disputes Act interest, and no further
interest shall be paid in relation to this claim.
