(CC-88-354)

No appearance by claimant.
Janet F. Steele, Assistant Attorney General, for respondent.

PER CURIAM:

This claim was submitted for decision based upon the allegations in the
Notice of Claim and
the respondent's Amended Answer.

Claimant seeks $3,208.00 for maintenance on heating and cooling units
provided respondent
during the months of March 1987 and July 1987 at West Virginia
University - Charleston Area
Medical Center Complex. The invoice for the month of March was not
processed for payment in
the proper fiscal year; therefore, the claimant has not been paid. The
respondent admits the
validity and the amount of $1,604.00 for the month of March and states
that there were
sufficient funds expired tin the appropriate fiscal year with which that
invoice could have been
paid. Respondent denies the amount of $1,604.00 for the amount of July
as a change order was
issued in December 1986 which excluded the month of July from the
contract. Claimant
indicated that it agrees to accept $1,604.00 as full settlement of the
claim.

In view of the foregoing, the Court makes an award in the amount of
$1,604.00.

Award of $1,604.00.
