Contracts for Minor Building Alterations, Repairs, and New Construction, Urbana (23) On April 18, 1985, the Board of Trustees approved the award of cost-plus contracts for minor building alterations, repairs, and new construction at the Urbana-Champaign campus for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1986, with an option to extend the contracts from July 1, 1986, through June 30, 1987, under the same terms and conditions. The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the option described now be exercised. The Operation and Maintenance Division at the Urbana-Champaign campus has recommended the exercise of the option since the work performed by each of the contractors for the eight divisions of work has been of high quality and a review indicates that the option price would be more favorable than the probable bid price. Funds as required will be authorized by a contract work order which will be charged against funds allocated for each project. O n morion of Mr. Howard, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Mr. Forsydi, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. H a h n , Mr. Howard, Mr. Logan, Mr. Madden, Mrs. Shepherd, Miss Smith; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson. ( T h e student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. L a m m ; no, none; absent, M r . Becker.)
