CONTRACT FOR WATCHMAN AND EMPLOYEE STATION AT THE MEDICAL CENTER (21) Bids have been received by the Physical Plant Department for the construction of a Watchman and Employee Station at the University of Illinois Medical Center, Chicago. The purpose of this structure is to provide for increased protection from theft and sabotage. Funds are available in appropriations already made for this purpose. Bids were invited and received as follows: Bidders Amount Mueller Construction Co $2 850 Carl T. Peterson 3 258 R. C. Wieboldt Company 3 266 Coath & Goss 3 196 Since it was necessary to get construction under way in order to secure the use of funds of the 1941-1943 biennium, the Comptroller authorized work to proceed by the lowest bidder, the Mueller Construction Company, on their bid of $2,850. He requests approval of this action and authorization for execution of the contract by himself and the Secretary of the Board. I concur in this recommendation. The Comptroller presented this item. On motion of M r . Davis, the action of the Comptroller in authorizing this contract was approved and confirmed; and the execution of the contract was authorized as recommended. CONTRACT FOR RENTAL OF TABULATING MACHINES (22) The Comptroller requests authorization for the rental of tabulating machines at a cost of $10,555.20, for the use of the Business Office Tabulating Division, from the International Business Machines Corporation, for the year July 1, 1943, to June 30, 1944. Competitive bids were not asked, as the tabulating systems are built up around International Business Machines equipment and no other machines can be used. These machines are available on a rental basis only. This is the total cost for the year on the equipment now in our possession and will be subject to change as equipment is changed during the year. This is merely a continuation of present arrangements. This service is operated as a revolving account and is charged to departments at cost. The Comptroller and Secretary request authority to execute such a contract. I recommend approval.
