Rejection of Bids and Award of Contract for Building Services, University Hospital (1919 Taylor Street), Chicago

(31) Building services in the University of Illinois Hospital (1919 Taylor Street Unit) currently are performed by the hospital housekeeping staff. Since the discontinuance of in-patient care in the building, the Chicago Physical Plant Department has been requested to undertake the required building services.1 On February 22, 1983, bids were sought for such services for the balance of Fiscal Years 1983 and 1984. However, due to inconsistent variations between the lump sum and the unit prices in the proposals submitted by all the bidders, the Physical Plant Department recommended that the bids be rejected. Pursuant to the General Rules the bids were rejected, and the president reports their rejection. The bid documents were revised; and on May 17, 1983, new bids were received. The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, now recommends, subject to the availability of funds, award of a contract for $59,000 to Marylee Services, Chicago, the low bidder on its base bid. A schedule of the bids received has been filed with the secretary of the board for record. Funds have been included in the appropriation bill for the General Assembly to meet the ordinary and contingent expenses of the University for FY 1984 and will be included in the Physical Plant operating budget authorization request for FY 1984 to be submitted to the Board of Trustees. T h e award of this contract is subject to the availability of such funds and to the successful bidder's demonstrating evidence to the University of compliance with Section 6-3 of the Purchasing Act.

On motion of Mrs. Day, this contract was awarded by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Dr. Donoghue, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Madden, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Stone; no, none; absent, Mr. Logan, Governor Thompson. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Bolen, Mr. Milkint; no, none.)
