Increase in Project Budget, Renovation of Staff Apartments Building, Chicago (Reports of Rejection of Bids, and Action by the President)

(34) Bids for seven divisions of work for the renovation of the Staff Apartments Building, 1 Chicago, were received on February 10 and 12, 1987, and the total of the low bids exceeded the approved project budget of $3,730,000. T h e scope of the project was then reviewed, in particular, limitations imposed on the heating and ventilating system as a result of the height (eight feet) of the floors of the facility. Independent mechanical engineers were employed to analyze alternative ventilating systems and their effect on the project budget. It was concluded that an induction system would provide the most satisfactory working environment instead of the originally designed constant volume, horizontal duct, air distribution system.
