Jurisdiction of the land on which the project will be constructed will be transferred to the Authority. T h e President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board of Trustees request the Illinois Building Authority to award a construction contract for this work to Skoog Construction Company, Champaign, the low base bidder, in the sum of $1,254,000 and proceed to procure this facility for the use of the University. The President also recommends that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board of Trustees be authorized to make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver such instruments of transfer, conveyance, lease, construction, and other documents as are necessary to provide for the carrying out of the foregoing project and facility by the Illinois Building Authority.
