(Note: Bids were also received for Division IV — Ventilation and Air Distribution work. After review of the bids of all of the bidders (total of seven), the architect discovered that four did not include all of the work required by an addendum within their bids. In that there may have been a misunderstanding, the architect has recommended that the division of work be rebid. The Office for Capital Programs and university counsel concur. This delay will not affect the project schedule.)
