Contract for Indoor Pool Restoration, Intramural—Physical Education Building, Urbana

(21) T h e president of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends award of a contract for $161,300 to C. A. Petry & Sons, Inc., Champaign, the low bidder on its base bid plus additive alternate two, to resurface the floor and clean the sidewalls of the indoor pool of the I n t r a m u r a l Physical Education Building at the Urbana campus. This project is to arrest an ongoing maintenance problem. When the building was constructed in 1971, budgetary restrictions prevented the installation of a ceramic tile floor to match the sidewalls of the pool. Consequently, the bottom was surfaced with a marble dust plaster. This material has proved unsatisfactory because of its separation from the pool's subbase. Funds are available from the proceeds of the sale of University of Illinois Auxiliary Facilities System Revenue Bonds, Series N. (A schedule of the bids received is filed with the secretary of the board for record.) T h e s t u d e n t a d v i s o r y v o t e w a s : Aye, Miss K o o p e r , M r . S o b o t k a , M r .
