BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[October 15

Increase in Contract for Pavilion, Chicago Circle

(17) On March 20, 1980, the Board of Trustees authorized the award of a contract to Berwyn Electric Co., Chicago, for electrical work for the Pavilion at the Chicago Circle campus. T h e contract did not include either the equipment for the theatrical lighting system or the electrical labor and material for installation of this lighting system. O n July 16, 1981, the Board of Trustees authorized the purchase of equipment for the theatrical lighting system. The electrical contractor will, for the additional sum of $24,900, provide labor and material, to bring power to various locations of the catwalk and to install the equipment. The cost of the theatrical lighting system (equipment and installation) is included in the project budget. Originally, separate bids were taken on the equipment and the installation. Bids were received for the equipment, but no bid was received for the labor and material required for the installation. Consequently, the recommendation is the result of a change order negotiated with the building construction electrical contractor. T h e cost of this work is within the amount budgeted for this portion of the project. T h e president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the contract with Berwyn Electric Co. be increased in the amount of $24,900 for the installation of the theatrical lighting system. Funds are available within the project budget from the proceeds of the sale of University of Illinois Auxiliary Facilities System Revenue Bonds, Series N.

On motion of Dr. Donoghue, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Dr. Donoghue, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Madden, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Stone; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Bandala, Mr. Bettenhausen, Mr. Persons; no, none.)
