The existing laboratories of the Pathology Department are scattered in eight different locations. The objective is to consolidate all various pathology laboratories into one modern laboratory with central control of all functions, and to upgrade all functions for providing up-to-date services. The new laboratory will occupy 16,000 square feet on the second floor of the Clinical Sciences Building. Funds are available from the Hospital Income Plant Fund. A schedule of the bids received and a description of the alternates have been filed with the secretary of the board for record.

On motion of Dr. Bacon, these contracts were awarded by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Dr. Gindorf, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Begovich, Mr. Lawless; no, none.)

The award is to the lowest responsible bidder on its base bid of $396,450 plus acceptance of alternates 1 through 7 in the total amount of $71,262. While the Regulations Governing Procurement and Bidding at the University require that separate bids be taken for the major divisions of work on a construction project (plumbing, heating, ventilation, and electrical), the changes made to the Illinois Purchasing Act last year by the Illinois General Assembly permit single, lump sum bids on such projects.

The one-story addition of approximately 4,400 square feet will provide nine administrative offices, reception/secretarial area, conference room, and ticket box office. Alterations to an existing 1,200 square foot administrative office area will
