BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[February 4

Power Company through University-owned overhead power lines. The location of the new terminal building, however, is within the service territory of the Central Illinois Public Service Company (CIPS); and, at the University's request, proposals were received from both companies and analyzed on the basis of: initial capital cost, annual operating costs, and reliability of service. The analysis indicated that the CIPS proposal was the most advantageous to the University. The company will install a double looped underground feeder system which will provide the capacity and reliability required. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that CIPS be designated to provide electric service to Willard Airport, and that an agreement be executed with the company to provide for the installation described and for service on a fiscal-year basis. Funds are available to meet the recurring annual cost of this agreement within the operating budget of the Operation and Maintenance Division of the Urbana campus. On motion of Mr. Wolff, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Galder, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Logan, Miss Smith, Mr. Wolff; no, none; absent, Mrs. Shepherd, Governor Thompson. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Evenson, Mr. Wylie; no, none.) Contract, Telecommunication Systems, Chicago (14) The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the award of a cost-plus contract to Hickey Electrical Contractors, Inc., Crestwood, for telecommunication systems alterations, repairs, and new work at the Chicago campus, for the period of February 29, 1988, through June 30, 1986. The contractors bid on percentages to be added to an estimated volume of material, labor, and subcontracts, and the recommended award is to the low bidder. The University has the option to extend this contract for an additional year on the same terras and conditions. Funds as required will be covered by a contract work order which will be charged against funds allocated for each such project. It is also recommended that the comptroller be authorized to approve work orders under these contracts for projects whose cost will not exceed the limits established by the Illinois Purchasing Act. A schedule of the bids received has been filed with the secretary of the board for record. On motion of Mr. Wolff, this contract was awarded by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Logan, Miss Smith, Mr. Wolff; no, none; absent, Mrs. Shepherd, Governor Thompson. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Evenson, Mr. Wylie; no, none.) Contracts, Dance Studio, Urbana (15) The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends award of the following contracts for construction of a dance studio at the Urbana campus.
