tract, ServiceMaster will be providing management services only, and none of the positions which will be phased out will be replaced by ServiceMaster employees. The elimination of positions will be accomplished by layoffs and/or attrition. In addition, some of the full-time employees affected may be eligible for employment in other units on the campus in accordance with their seniority and Civil Service rules. The contract would begin on January 1, 1987, for a term of three years. It may be terminated on sixty-days' notice if the hospital administration is dissatisfied with the quality of service based on a subjective assessment. Initially, the contract is for approximately $3.6 million annually, less amounts deducted and retained by the hospital to pay housekeepers, foremen, and others who will remain on the hospital payroll (currently estimated at $3.7 million annually). Subsequently, as wage rates change, the contract amount will change accordingly, with the resulting wage costs calculated every quarter. If the scope of work is changed from that stated in the initial contract, corresponding changes will be made in the amounts paid at the same ratio as in the initial contract. Funds for this contract are available from State appropriated and restricted funds operating budget of the hospital for Fiscal Year 1987 and are anticipated from the same source in subsequent years. The contract is subject to the availability of funds each fiscal period. The vice president for business and finance recommends approval. I concur.
