On motion of Mr. Hughes, the foregoing resolution was adopted by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Bissell, Mr. Herrick, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Nickell, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Stratton. A D D I T I O N TO C O N T R A C T FOR ABBOTT POWER PLANT A D D I T I O N (10) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend an increase of $2,985 in the contract with the R. V. Monahan Construction Company for the substructure and miscellaneous work for the construction of the cooling tower (Division "7G") for the addition to the Abbott Power Plant. The increase is to compensate the contractor for added costs due to delay in the delivery of pipe furnished by the piping contractor, a delay occasioned by the University's changing the schedule. This occurred when bids taken on September 5 x957> on the construction of the cooling tower under one contract, including > substructure, electrical work, and piping, were found excessive, were rejected, and separate bids were subsequently taken on the three phases of the project. This resulted in a saving of $60,020, and contracts on the three phases of the work were awarded to the three on October 10, 1957. Sargent and Lundy, Consulting Engineers for the project, and the Physical Plant staff have checked the cost sheets submitted by R. V. Monahan Company and find the cost attributable to the delay to be $2,985. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller be authorized to execute this change in the contract. On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation was approved.
