REQUEST TO ILLINOIS BUILDING AUTHORITY TO CONTRACT FOR ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION WORK AT THE UTILITIES BUILDING ADDITION, PHASE III, CHICAGO CIRCLE (IS) T h e Illinois Building Authority received bids on December 4, 1968, for electrical installation work at the Utilities Building Addition, Phase I I I , which is being done in connection with the installation of heating, cooling, and electrical equipment at the Chicago Circle campus. T h e apparent low base bid was submitted by Gilbert-Hodgman, Inc., Chicago, with a price of $212,000. Their bid, however, failed to comply with the instructions to bidders and is considered incomplete and not responsive. The only other bid was received from Harmon Electric Co., Melrose Park, with a base bid of $215,333. This bid complies with the specifications and the engineers, Sargent & Lundy, recommend its acceptance. Accordingly, the President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Illinois Building Authority be requested to award to Harmon Electric Co., the lowest acceptable base bidder, a contract on the base bid in the amount of $215,333 and proceed to procure this work for the use of the University. . The above work is part of the project for Chicago Circle, Phase I I I , construction which the Board, on July 26, 1967, requested the Illinois Building Authority to provide. T h e Authority will finance the construction and lease the facilities to the University for rental payments for which state appropriations are available. Jurisdiction of the land has been transferred to the Authority. It is also recommended that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver such instruments of transfer, conveyance, lease, contract, and other documents as necessary to provide for the carrying out of the foregoing project by the Illinois Building Authority. It is further recommended that the resolution submitted herewith be adopted to implement the official actions required.
