The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the options described now be exercised. 1 Funds as required will be authorized by a contract work order which will be charged against funds allocated for each project. It is also recommended that the comptroller be authorized to approve work orders under these contracts. (The Operation and Maintenance Division at the Urbana campus has recommended the exercise of the options since the work performed by each of the contractors for these divisions of work has been satisfactory and a review indicates that the option price would be more favorable than the probable bid price.)

1 T h e contractor for insulation work, Champaign A&K Insulation Company, has requested that the University not exercise its option due to significant increases in the contractor's union's fringe benefits, which would cause the contractor severe financial hardship. T h e Operation and Maintenance Division recognizes the probable financial hardship and recommends that the University not exercise its option to extend the contract with Champaign A&K Insulation Company. T h e contract will be rebid.
