BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[February ig

A P P R O P R I A T I O N F O R ADDITION T O P H Y S I C S R E S E A R C H LABORATORY (12) T h e Vice-President and Provost and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend that the Board authorize the construction of a steel building at the rear of the Physics Research Laboratory for housing of hydrogen liquefying equipment and that assignments of funds be made for this purpose of $15,650 from the current operating budget of the Department of Physics and $9,868 from indirect costs recovered from government research contracts and allocated to the Department, a total of $25,518. Additional space is needed for this equipment for research under a contract with the Office of Naval Research. A separate structure is indicated because of hazards of hydrogen. T h e University Building P r o g r a m Committee has approved the site and type of structure. Allocation of funds from the Department of Physics budget is possible because some of the departmental expenses during the current fiscal year have been appropriately chargeable to funds received under government research contracts; the Department also has to its credit funds accumulated in collections of indirect costs charged against government research contracts. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r .

C O N T R A C T F O R EQUIPMENT F O R S N A C K BAR AND S E R V I C E BUILDING F O R M E N ' S R E S I D E N C E HALLS (14) T h e Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend the award of a contract for $28,156.20 to Servco Equipment Company, St. Louis, Missouri, for food service equipment and its installation in the Snack Bar and Service Building for the Men's Residence Halls. Funds are available in the proceeds of " T h e Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois Housing Revenue Bonds of 1958, Series A and B." The invitations t o bidders included the standard reservation by the University of the right to reject any or all bids, and to accept the bid or bids deemed most favorable to the University. Although the Servco Equipment Company is the second lowest bidder — the difference between its bid and that of the lowest bidder being only $6.20 — it is nevertheless recommended because of the quality of its equipment installations elsewhere. Submitted herewith is a supporting statement from the Physical Plant Department, a copy of which is being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r .
