1995] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 183 Report of Contract Award; and Delegation of Authority to Award a Contract for Structural Steel, Bielfeldt Athletic Administration Building, Urbana (11) Since the proposed $6.7 million Bielfeldt Athletic Administration Building project at the Urbana campus is on a very compact schedule, on October 20, 1994, the board authorized the comptroller to award contracts for Bid Group 2 (foundation, structural steel, and site utilities) provided the total of the bids received did not exceed $890,000. On November 16, 1994, and January 11, 1995, bids were received for Bid Group 2. The bids for the foundation and the site utilities work were within the project estimate; however, the bids for the structural steel portion of Bid Group 2 exceeded the project estimate. After review of the bids, the project architect recommended, and the Office for Capital Programs concurred, that the structural steel be rebid. The bid documents are being revised for the structural steel portion of Bid Group 2, and bids are to be received at or around the end of February 1995. It is estimated that the total of the low bids received will not exceed $470,000. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the comptroller be delegated the authority to award contracts to the lowest responsible bidder for the structural steel portion of Bid Group 2 provided the total of the bids received does not exceed $470,000. A report of the bids received for the structural steel will be made at the March or April 1995 meeting of the board. The following contracts for the foundation and site utilities work have been awarded and the award in each case is to the lowest responsible bidder on its base bid plus acceptance of the indicated alternate (B-l, which is for additional sanitary manhole and sanitary sewers): Bid Item #2 — Foundations English Brothers Company, Champaign ..

Private gift funds for this work are available with the possibility of reimbursement from a subsequent revenue bond sale for the project.
