It is further recommended that the electrical construction contract be assigned to the general construction contractor. Funds are available from the Restricted Funds Operating Budget of the Office for Administrative Information Systems and Services. The current second floor power requirements exceed the total capacity of the existing building's load center, resulting in frequent overloads and shutting down various circuits. To correct this, a new electrical service is proposed to be supplied from the University's existing electrical substation. In order to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements for accessibility, specific second floor renovation is required for toilet facilities and door hardware. The $130,000 remodeling project of approximately 12,000 nasf for the Office for Administrative Systems and Services includes installation of a new load center for expanded electrical power, new data/phone service, column caps, carpeting, miscellaneous painting, and washroom and door hardware modifications. A schedule of the bids received and a description of the alternate have been filed with the secretary of the board for record.

On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, these contracts were awarded by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Downey, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Reese, Mrs. Shepherd; no, none; absent, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Governor Edgar.
