(12) On December 28, 1992, bids were received for the construction of the project.

Pursuant to the provisions of Article II, Section 4(j) (2) of the General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure, the electrical division bids were rejected, and the president reports their rejection. The architects were directed to rebid Division V — Electrical work for the project. Bids were received on February 8, 1993. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends award of a contract for $68,099 to Broadway Electric, Chicago, the lowest responsible bidder on its base bid for the electrical work for remodeling the Clinical Sciences Building for an infectious diseases clinic at the Chicago campus.
