Award of Contracts for Solar Water Heating System, Biologic Resources Laboratory, Chicago (18) On October 15, 1981, the Board of Trustees approved a recommendation to accept a federal grant of $1,456,933 under the National Energy Conservation Policy Act of 1978. Bids were received on April 21, 1983, for the construction of one of the conservation projects authorized within the third cycle of the program. The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends award of contracts for the installation of a solar heating system for domestic water in the Biologic Resources Laboratory at the Health Sciences Center, Chicago, the award being made in each case to the low base bidder. The laboratory building has a high rate of energy utilization due to ventilation and sanitary standards for animal research facilities. This project will provide a solar energy system for generating domestic hot water. The work will consist of the installation of 84 solar collector panels on the east roof of the building, connected to the existing hot water systems to provide hot water on days when solar collection is inadequate. By decreasing the demand for steam, the energy savings should recover the costs in 12 years. The work will begin in June and is scheduled for completion in October 1983. The recommended contracts are as follows: Mechanical Stratton Mechanical Industries, Inc., Addison Electrical Monarch Electric Construction Co., division of Bernard N. Lane Company, Chicago Total Base Bid $131 680 12 606 $144 286 A schedule of the bids received has been filed with the secretary of the board for record.
