PURCHASE OF FURNITURE FOR STUDENT RESIDENCE HALLS (18) The Board of Trustees on March 16, i960, authorized the purchase of student room furniture (chairs, desks, and beds) for the Peabody Avenue Residence Halls and the Residence Hall on Green Street for Single Graduate Students, now under construction, from Faucett-Umphrey Corporation, Bloomfield, Indiana, the lowest bidder and manufacturer, and a contract for $189,448.10 was subsequently executed by the Corporation and the University. The Corporation, having failed to furnish an Owner's Protective Bond as specified in the contract within the required ten-day period, and after an extension of time was granted, the Director of Purchases and the Vice-President and Comptroller therefore recommend that the Board exercise its option to declare the contract with Faucett-Umphrey Corporation null and void and to retain the Corporation's bid deposit of $7,500 as liquidated damages for failure to comply with contract requirements; and that the Board authorize the Director of Purchases to send written notice of this action to Faucett-Umphrey Corporation. It is also recommended that a contract for $195,494.74 for the purchase of this furniture be awarded to Sligh Lowry Furniture Company, Holland, Michigan, the second lowest bidder, on the total of the items to be purchased. This Company is prepared to execute a contract and to comply with all requirements. I concur. On motion of Mr. Harewood, these recommendations were approved.
