CONTRACTS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE CONGRESS CIRCLE CAMPUS

At the request of the President of the University, Director C. S. Havens of the Physical Plant presented a report he had made to the President on May 13, 1963, on the bids received on April 11 and 18, 1963, for all construction at the Congress Circle Campus with the exception of the Heating Plant and the Congress Circle Union Building. Copies of the report were distributed to all the Trustees at the meeting (and subsequently were sent to the absentees), and a copy was filed with the Secretary for record. Following this report, Director Havens presented specific recommendations made by him and the VicePresident and Comptroller for the award of contracts for construction of buildings, and other improvements, on the Congress Circle Campus including: the Staff and Administration Offices Building, Classroom Complex Building, Library Building, Site Development — Lecture Center, Engineering and Sciences Laboratories Building, Physical Plant Building, and landscaping, the award in each case being to the lowest bidder. Director Havens announced that recommendations will be submitted later for awards of contracts for the Heating Plant and the Union Building, which will complete construction of the first phase of the Congress Circle Campus. The specific recommendations for the awards of contracts follow.
