Waiver of University Purchasing Rules, Remodel Fifth Floor of the Associated Health Professions Building for the Obstetrics/Gynecology Department, Chicago

(27) The proposed $1.0 million project consists of the remodeling of approximately 15,000 gross square feet on the fifth floor of the Associated Health Professions Building for Obstetrics and Gynecology, including a clinical practice area, an Antenatal Diagnostic Center with ultrasonography, fetal testing, genetic counseling, and program administrative space. Bids for the project are scheduled to be received in November 1994. While the Regulations Governing Procurement and Bidding at the University require that separate bids be taken for the major divisions of work on a construction project (plumbing, heating, ventilation, and electrical), the changes made to the Illinois Purchasing Act in 1992 by the Illinois General Assembly permit single, lump-sum bids on such projects. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the board approve a waiver of the University's normal practices on bidding procedures to permit the solicitation of single bids for remodeling the fifth floor of the Associated Health Professions Building for the Obstetrics/Gynecology Department, Chicago.

On motion of Mr. Grabowski, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Dr. Gindorf, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Dr. Bacon, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Didato-Castillo, Mr. Rose; no, none.)

Waiver of University Purchasing Rules, Remodel Clinical Sciences North Building for the Obstetrics/Gynecology Department, Chicago

(28) The proposed $1.3 million project consists of the construction of a new second floor (approximately 1,620 square feet) in an existing two-story space and the remodeling of additional area (approximately 3,160 square feet) also on the second floor of the Clinical Sciences North Building for new offices and labs for the Obstetrics/Gynecology Department. Bids for the project are scheduled to be received in January 1995. While the Regulations Governing Procurement and Bidding at the University require that separate bids be taken for the major divisions of work on a construction project (plumbing, heating, ventilation, and electrical), the changes made to the Illinois Purchasing Act in 1992 by the Illinois General Assembly permit single, lump-sum bids on such projects.
