BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[May 11

Contract, Telecommunication Systems Alterations, Repairs, and New Work, Chicago (11) On February 4, 1988, the Board of Trustees approved the award of a costplus contract to Hickey Electrical Contractors, Inc., Crestwood, for telecommunication systems alterations, repairs, and new work at the Chicago campus for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 1988, with an option to extend the contract from July 1, 1988, through June 30, 1989, under the same terms and conditions. (Total estimated fee payment is $123,250.) The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the option described now be exercised. It is also recommended that the comptroller be authorized to approve work orders under these contracts for projects which costs will not exceed the limits established by the Illinois Purchasing Act. Funds as required will be authorized by a contract work order which will be charged against funds allocated for each project. (The Physical Plant Department at the Chicago campus has recommended the exercise of the option since the work performed by the contractor for this division of work has been of high quality and a review indicates that the option price would be more favorable than the probable bid price.)

On motion of Mr. Forsyth, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Galder, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Logan, Mrs. Shepherd, Miss Smith, Mr. Wolff; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Evenson; absent, Mr. Wylie.)
