CONTRACTS FOR MINOR BUILDING ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS (24) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and the Comptroller recommend authorization of cost-plus contracts with the following contractors for minor building alterations, repairs, and construction work for the period July 1, 1964, through June 30, 1965. General — Dean Evans Company, Champaign Electrical — William H . Brunkow, an individual doing business as Brunkow Electric Company, Champaign Plumbing—-Willis H. and W. C. Thomas, a partnership doing business as Thomas Plumbing and Heating Company, Urbana Heating, Piping, Refrigeration, and Automatic Temperature Control Systems — Reliable Plumbing and Heating Company, Champaign Ventilation and Distribution Systems for Conditioned Air — Reliable Plumbing and Heating Company, Champaign It is also recommended that a combined contract be awarded to Reliable Plumbing and Heating Company, Champaign, for heating, piping, refrigeration, and automatic temperature controls and for ventilation and distribution systems for conditioned air, since this Company submitted identical bids for each category of work. 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. The 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. 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 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
