(28) The $6.75 million Bielfeldt Athletic Administration Building is a 37,250 gsf administration building which will house the administrative offices and offices for the majority of men's and women's athletic programs, as well as a Hall of Fame. In order for the project to be completed on schedule (January 1996), on May 11, 1995, the Board of Trustees approved a recommendation to delegate authority to the comptroller to award construction contracts to the lowest responsible bidder for bid items within the general division of work provided the total of the bids received did not exceed $1,067,000. On May 11, 1995, bids were received for Bid Group 3. Although the bids received were within the project budget, the total exceeded the amount of the delegated authority by $230,004. In order to award the contracts, it is necessary to receive approval by the Board of Trustees. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the award of the following contracts for the Bielfeldt Athletic Administration Building at the Urbana campus.
