These bids total $47,010.52 for building construction only. It is estimated that laboratory equipment and apparatus, furnishings, and other incidental expenses will total $22,550.00, making the total cost of the building completely furnished and equipped $69,560.52. There is available in the State appropriation of $50,000 for this building a balance of $47,861.57 (after deducting for the cost of architectural services and other preliminary expenses), so that an additional $22,000 will have to be provided if the building is constructed and equipped as originally planned. A revised budget for the construction of this building has been prepared on the basis of an available balance of $47,861.57. This plan would provide the building plus a small portion of the equipment originally contemplated, the balance of which can be added later as funds become available at comparatively little additional cost.
