T h e specimen submitted by the second low bidder appeared to be the best for our particular use because of the greater rigidity of the doors and the Supervising Architect recommends that the contract be awarded to the Lyon Metal Products, Inc. of Aurora, Illinois, on the basis of their bid of $3,796.01, which is only $52.37 above that of the lowest bidder. Since the receipt of the bids the Dean and Business Manager have decided that the lockers should be equipped with the n e w Dudley self-locking combination lock instead of the padlock hasps. These locks cost $1.25 attached to the lockers and the same combination lock without the self-locking feature can be applied to the Lyon lockers n o w installed in the old building. T h e additional cost for the locks will be $1,447.50, making the entire contract price $5,243.51. I concur in the recommendation of the Supervising Architect that the contract be awarded to the Lyon Metal Products, Inc. for the s u m of $5,243.51, to be paid out of the appropriation for the building.

On motion of Mr. Trees, this contract was awarded as recommended. ADMINISTRATIVE ORGANIZATION
