BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[July 9

Companies, Ltd., Peoria, the lowest responsible bidder, on its base bid for the fire protection sprinkler work at the Grainger Engineering Library Information Center project at the Urbana campus. The work consists of the installation of an automatic fire sprinkler, fire pump, and related work for the Grainger Engineering Library Information Center. Funds are available from private gift funds through the University of Illinois Foundation and institutional funds of the Urbana campus. A schedule of the bids received has been filed with the secretary of the board for record. (Note: A proposal for Bid Item 21 — Fire Protection Sprinkler System was received from Automatic Sprinkler Corporation of America, Davenport, Iowa, on its base bid of $276,670. The firm has notified the University of an error in its bid and requested permission to withdraw it since, due to the error, the firm could not fulfill its contractual obligation without suffering economic hardship. The construction manager, architect/engineer, and the Office for Capital Programs have determined that there is clear and demonstrable evidence that the bidder made a bona fide error in the preparation of the bid, that the error will result in a substantial loss to the bidder, and have recommended that the bidder be allowed to withdraw its bid. Further, the construction manager and architect/engineer have talked to PIPCO about its bid and were informed that the firm understands all of the project's specified requirements. The university counsel has advised that, under these circumstances, the University's regulations allow the University to permit the withdrawal.)

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