Reichard Plumbing and Heating Company, Urbana Ventilating and Distribution Systems for Conditioned Air Work — Reliable Plumbing and Heating Company, Champaign These contracts are for work which does not justify the cost of preparing separate drawings and specifications and of separate bidding procedures on each project. T h e several contractors bid on percentages to be added to actual material, labor, and subcontract costs, depending in many cases on the size of the particular division of work with specified limits of four ranges, plus hourly rates for trucking. Work will be done as ordered by the Physical Plant Department and will be paid for on the basis of the actual cost of each job plus contractors' fees. A schedule of bids taken showing the percentages to be added for work to be executed under these cost-plus contracts is submitted herewith, and a copy of the schedule is being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record as the basis for the contract awards recommended. No assignment of funds is requested and each job will be covered by a contract change order charged against funds allocated for the project. It is further recommended that the Vice-President and Comptroller be authorized to approve orders under these contracts up to $25,000 on each project provided that any orders exceeding this amount shall be submitted to the Board of Trustees for approval in advance, in accordance with previous practice and authorization.
