184 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [February 9 (Note: A proposal for Bid Item #2 — Foundations was received from Imperial Concrete Company, Inc., Champaign, on its base bid of $220,220. That firm notified the University that it made a serious 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 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 architect/engineer has talked to English Brothers Company, Champaign, about its bid and was 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. Gindorf, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Engelbrecht, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Mrs. O'Malley, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Dr. Bacon, Mrs. Calder, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Didato-Castillo, Mr. Rose; no, none.) Supplemental Funding, Noyes Laboratory Remodeling, Urbana (Contract With Capital Development Board) (12) On July 9, 1993, the Board of Trustees requested the Capital Development Board to employ the firm of RUST Environment & Infrastructure, Inc., Schaumburg, for remodeling Noyes Laboratory at the Urbana campus. The basic project consists of a multi-phased project to update the instructional laboratories on the second and fourth floors, including new equipment, proper ventilation, and upgrade in electrical systems. In January 1995, bids were received by the Capital Development Board for the project. The Urbana campus has recently identified funds which will allow the acceptance of bid alternate #2 which provides for remodeling the organic chemistry laboratory and its associated prep and storage room (3,700 nasf). State statutes provide that the Capital Development Board and the University may contract with each other and other parties on the design and construction of any project to be constructed on University property. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the University now contract with the Capital Development Board in order to finance the expanded project scope at an additional cost of $647,000 for the Noyes Laboratory remodeling project. University funds are available from the Institutional Funds budget of the Urbana campus and the School of Chemical Sciences. On motion of Dr. Gindorf, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Engelbrecht, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Mrs. O'Malley, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Dr. Bacon, Mrs. Calder, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Didato-Castillo, Mr. Rose; no, none.) Employment of Architects/Engineers, Capital Development Board Projects, Rockford, and Urbana (13) The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board of Trustees request the Capital
