(27) On May 11,1989, the Board of Trustees approved the award of contracts for repairs, minor remodeling, and new construction at the Urbana campus. T h e award included a contract for general work to Byrd's Construction Company, Urbana, with an option to extend the contract for an additional year under the same terms and conditions.
