BOARD O F T R U S T E E S

[September

21

$3,219,000 was received from S. W . Nielsen Company, 3059 Augusta Boulevard, Chicago. (Another proposal received was rejected by the Illinois Building Authority because of an insufficient bid deposit.) The lowest bidder is deemed fully qualified and has performed satisfactorily under contract with the University in the past. The project is one of those which the Board of Trustees on September 22, 1965, requested the Illinois Building Authority to provide. The Authority will finance the construction and lease the facilities to the University for rental payments for which state appropriations are available. T h e University will transfer jurisdiction of the land on which the project will be constructed to the Authority. T h e Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend that the Board authorize the transfer of jurisdiction of the site and request the Illinois Building Authority to award a contract for the described work to the lowest bidder and proceed to procure this facility for the use of the University. I concur and recommend the adoption of the following resolutions. Resolution WHEREAS, The Seventy-fourth General Assembly of the State of Illinois has declared it to be in the public interest that the Illinois Building Authority construct, on behalf of The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, an East Dental, Medical and Pharmacy Building Addition on the Medical Center Campus of the University of Illinois, in Chicago, Illinois; and WHEREAS, for that purpose it will be necessary for the Illinois Building Authority to acquire jurisdiction of the real estate upon which said Addition will be located; and WHEREAS, the site for said East Dental, Medical and Pharmacy Building Addition has been determined and The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, a public corporation of the State of Illinois with its principal office in Urbana, Illinois, will be requested by the Illinois Building Authority to transfer jurisdiction of said real estate for the construction of said Addition; and WHEREAS, at its September 22, 1965, meeting, The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois authorized the transfer of jurisdiction to the Illinois Building Authority for the site for said Addition; and Now therefore, be it and it hereby is resolved by The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, acting through its Executive Committee, as follows: Section 1.
