A schedule of the bids received has been filed with the secretary of the board for record. Funds for this contract are available from State Appropriated, Institutional, or Restricted Funds as designated on a project-by-project basis. The vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval.

Contract for Employment of Management Firm, Grounds Operation and Maintenance, Chicago

(32) On July 13, 1995, the Board of Trustees approved the award of a contract for the employment of ServiceMaster Management Services Co., Downers Grove, Illinois, to oversee the grounds maintenance operation of the Chicago campus from August 1, 1995, through June 30, 1996. The approval contained an option to extend this contract for Fiscal Year 1997, but it neglected to include the negotiated increase tied to the consumer price index. This year the contract increase will be based on the percentage of increase in the Consumer Price Index, U.S. city average (2.7 percent). The chancellor at Chicago recommends that the option be exercised and the contract be extended for the period of July 1, 1996, through June 30, 1997, subject to the availability of funds. During the current year, work performed by the firm has been satisfactory, and Facilities Management, Physical Plant Department, has recommended that the option be exercised. Funds for this contract are available in the FY 1997 Institutional Funds Operating Budget of the Physical Plant Department. 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.
