REPAIR OF SMOKE STACK AT ABBOTT POWER PLANT (22) As a result of a recent inspection of the No. 2 smoke stack at the Abbott Power Plant, which has been in continuous service since its construction in 1952 by Custodis Construction Company, Inc., Chicago, the Physical Plant Department recommended authorization of certain necessary repairs after the inspection report had been reviewed with Sargent and Lundy, Chicago, consulting engineers for the University on power plant installations who concurred in the recommendation. Emergency action was necessary to avoid overloading stack No. 1 when the air-conditioning season started, as overload would have reduced the capacity of the boilers and required curtailment of the use of electricity. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller request confirmation of the employment of the Custodis Construction Company, Inc., to make the repairs on the basis of the actual cost of labor and materials plus cost of insurance, plus 15 per cent for the firm's overhead and 15 per cent for its commission. The total project was estimated to require three weeks and cost approximately $10,000. Funds are available in the Physical Plant operating budget for the fiscal year 1961-62. I concur.
