Contract For Deck Repairs And Building Landscaping, Administrative Office Building, Chicago

(15) On September 14, 1995, the Board of Trustees authorized the award of a contract for $553,500 to Mark I Waterproofing & Restoration Co., Dolton, the lowest responsible bidder on its base bid, for the repair of the plaza deck at the Administrative Office Building of the Chicago campus. Subsequently, the Facilities Management unit reviewed the construction schedule with the lowest responsible bidder and both concurred that the schedule could not be met as specified and, therefore, the contract was not awarded. As a result, the project was slightly redesigned and new bids were received in January 1996. Competitive bidding procedures in accordance with the Illinois Purchasing Act were followed. More time was allowed for bid preparation and architectural drawings were given greater specificity. The interim chancellor at Chicago recommends the award of a contract for $428,480 to the firm of Century Contractors, Inc., Bedford Park, the lowest responsible bidder on its base bid and Additive Alternates 1 and 2 1 for repairs to the deck and building landscaping at the Administrative Office Building, Chicago. Funds for this project are available in the Institutional Funds Operating Budget for Deferred Maintenance of the Physical Plant of the Chicago campus. A schedule of the bids received has been filed with the secretary of the board for record. The vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Engelbrecht, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Dr. Bacon, Governor Edgar, Ms. Lopez, Mrs. O'Malley. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Rose; no, none; absent, Mr. Malone, Mr. Mathew.)

Contract for Minor Campus Roof Repairs and Replacements, Chicago

(16) The interim chancellor at Chicago recommends the award of a contract for $549,648 to Clark Roofing Company, Broadview, for minor roof repairs and replacement of existing roofs at Chicago. Competitive bidding procedures in accordance with the Illinois Purchasing Act were followed. The project consists of providing labor, materials, equipment, and supervision necessary to remove damaged roofing systems, and repair or replace existing roof systems for approximately seventeen (17) campus buildings. These particular buildings were selected because they have active leaks which are accelerating the deterioration of the entire roof. Funds for this contract are available in the Institutional Funds Operating Budget for Deferred Maintenance of the Physical Plant of the Chicago campus.

1 Additive Alternate No. 1 — To install colored concrete copings, column bases, and window curbs with colors to match the existing coping, bases, and curbs; Additive Alternate No. 2 — To provide sandblast finish on all new cast-in-place concrete copings, column bases, and window curbs.
