634 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [June 13 the contract to cover surgical service staffing needs until a full contingent of UIH&C staffing is in place. The amendment of the current contract will increase the contract amount from $49,000 to $74,000 and the contract extension will be for an additional amount of $76,000. Funds are available in the Hospital Income Fund. The vice president of business and finance concurs. I recommend approval. On motion of Dr. Gindorf, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Engelbrecht, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Mrs. O'Malley, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Malone, Mr. Mathew, Mr. Rose; no, none.) Amendment and Extension to Collection Agency Contract, University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics, Chicago (23) The chancellor at Chicago recommends approval of an amendment and extension to the contract with Harvard Collection Services (Harvard), Chicago, to complete collection service activities on all accounts assigned to Harvard. The contract extension will be effective July 1, 1996, through June 30, 1997. The University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics (UIH&C) recently completed a competitive bid process for collection agencies to assist in the collection of delinquent accounts for medical services provided by the UIH&C. As a result of this competitive bid process, one of the current contracted agencies (Harvard) was not recommended for an award of a new contract due primarily to its rate structure. The UIH&C has approximately $9.5 million in accounts assigned to Harvard. It has been determined that it is in the interest of continuity of high quality collection services and in the best economic interest of UIH&C to allow Harvard to continue working these accounts that were assigned to them up to and including June 30, 1996. The contract would be amended to increase the current obligation by $70,000 for a total contract obligation estimated not to exceed $220,000. Funds are available in the Hospital Income Fund. The vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval. On motion of Dr. Gindorf, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Engelbrecht, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Mrs. O'Malley, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Malone, Mr. Mathew, Mr. Rose; no, none.)
