1972] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 597 Funds for this work are available in State capital appropriations to the University and have been released by the Governor and in die Hospital Income Account. A schedule of bids received has been filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. Harmon Electric Co., 20 North Avenue, Melrose Park, Illinois, submitted a bid for the electrical work which it now requests be withdrawn and its bid deposit forfeited, since a major piece of equipment had been omitted in the tabulation of its bid proposal. The University Counsel has advised that if the bidder made a bona fide error in the preparation of the bid and such error will result in a substantial loss to the bidder, withdrawal of the bid may be permitted. The Physical Plant has determined that a bona fide error was inadvertently made and is substantial since it represents approximately one-third of the cost of the work, and recommends that the bidder's request be granted. Bids were originally received for this project on December 15, 1971, for the heating and air conditioning and electrical work and on December 22, 1971, for the general work. The low construction bids exceeded the funds available by approximately $14,000. In accordance with the provisions of Section 15 (e) (2) of the General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure, the President of the University reports the rejection of these bids. O n m o t i o n of M r . S w a i n , t h e s e c o n t r a c t s w e r e a w a r d e d b y t h e following vote: Aye, M r . Forsyth, M r . H a h n , Mr. Howard, Mr. Hughes, M r . Neal, M r .

CONTRACT FOR REPAIRS TO STEAM LINES, MEDICAL CENTER (22) The President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends award of a contract in the amount of $19,972 to G. F . Connelly Co., Inc., Chicago, the low bidder, for work to repair the underground steam and condensate lines at the intersection of Polk and Paulina streets at the Medical Center campus. Funds for this work are available from the Steam Plant Revolving Account. A schedule of the bids received has been filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. On motion of Mr. Pogue, this contract was awarded by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Neal, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Swain; no, none; absent, Dr. Bakalis, Governor Ogilvie, Mr. Steger. CONTRACT FOR STEAM SERVICE W I T H RUSH-PRESBYTERIAN ST. LUKE'S MEDICAL CENTER (23) The President, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the following: 1. Concurrence in the assignment of the Chicago Foundlings Home contract for steam service to the Rush-Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center. 2. Termination of the current contract with Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital and the above-mentioned assigned contract. 3. Execution of a new contract for steam service with Rush-Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center for supplying steam to all of its facilities. T h e Chicago Foundlings Home has been sold to Rush-Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center, and the University has been requested by both institutions to concur in the assignment of the steam service contract. The current contract with the Foundlings Home provides for the supply of not in excess of 2,000 pounds of steam per hour. Because of the proposed assignment, and the request of Rush-Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center to increase its steam demand by 25,000 pounds per hour, termination of both of the contracts referred to above and the execution of a new contract with the Rush-Presbyterian St. Luke's Medical Center for the purchase of a maximum of 112,000 pounds of steam per hour are recommended.
