EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING. A U G U S T 4 . 1 9 3 6 A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois was held in the office of E d w a r d E. Barrett, Chicago, on the fourth day of August, 1936, at 10 o'clock a.m., for the purpose of passing on bids for equipment for the Mining and Metallurgical Laboratory. Those present w e r e : O. M. Karraker, Chairman, and E d w a r d E . Barrett. Absent: Dr. Karl A. Meyer. At the meeting of the Board of Trustees on April 18 (Minutes, pages 626-628), bids were received on the Addition to the Mining and Metallurgical Laboratory. Due to the fact that the total of the low bids exceeded the amount of funds available, no action was taken on the bids for laboratory equipment. Subsequently the budget for the Addition was revised and the equipment schedule was cut down. T h e Kewaunee Manufacturing Company, the original low bidder in this work, has agreed to accept the order for the laboratory equipment in accordance with the reduced schedule on the same unit price basis plus $40 for installation charges, or a total of $1,705.95. T h e base bid on the original schedule of equipment was $8,747.83. Director Havens states that in view of the limited time available, and because he feels that the price quoted by the Kewaunee Manufacturing Company is a very fair offer, he recommends that the contract be awarded to them on their base bid of $8,747.83 less a contract change order in the amount of $7,041.88 to reduce their contract to the net amount of $1,705.95. On motion of Mr. Karraker, concurred in by Mr. Barrett, the recommendation of the Director of Physical Plant was approved and the contract awarded to the Kewaunee Manufacturing Company at a total price of $1,705.95. T h e r e being no other business, the Committee adjourned. O. M. KARRAKER, BARRETT Chairman EDWARD E.
