The hoods were originally designed for installation when the building was constructed, but due to insufficient funds the installation was postponed. The base bid in each case is on installation of nineteen fume hoods; alternates were taken on the installation of eleven more, all of which are needed. The base bids were low enough to permit inclusion of the eleven additional hoods. It is further recommended that all contracts other than the contract for ventilating work be assigned to the contractor for that work, making the total of his contract price $78,670.60; and that an agreement be entered into with Anderson and Litwack Company for the assignment of these other contracts for $2,346 which amount is included in the contract price, being the amount bid by that Company for service charge for supervision of other contracts assigned to the contractor for ventilating work.
