H e recommends the award of contracts to the lowest bidders as follows: Landscaping.—Swain Nelson & Sons Company on their base bid, including deductions provided under Alternates Nos. 1 and 2. In addition to these alternates, there are quotations from the contractor for changes in the size of the stock which will result in a further reduction in price of $1,111, which will be handled through the issuance of contract change orders after the execution of the contract. T h e amount of the contract to be awarded at this time, therefore, will be $7,609.04. T h e omission of the lawn work, Alternate No. 2, is considered necessary due to the fact that construction would force the work into the summer, which would make it impossible to complete the work during that period. It will be necessary, therefore, for the Physical Plant Department to provide for this work under its operation and maintenance appropriation next fall. Paving, Walks, Curbs, and Drives.-—King & Petry, on their base bid of $20,770.00. As a result of quotations received from King & Petry since the opening of bids, contract change orders will be issued, reducing this contract by
