On July 13, 1995, the board approved the recision of a contract for Bid Group 3, Bid Item #7B, Drywall and Acoustical Ceiling work to Treat Brothers Co., Urbana, in the amount of $383,150; and approved the award of a contract to the second low bidder for the work; namely, Associated Constructors Co., Inc., Bloomington, in the amount of $398,163.
