774 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [September 18 rector of Cooperative Extension to carry out the provisions of the County Cooperative Extension Law. CONTRACT FOR GAS SERVICE FOR HEATING PLANT AT CONGRESS CIRCLE (8) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend authorization of a contract with the Peoples Gas, Light, and Coke Company, Chicago, for gas service under the Interruptible Boiler Fuel Service, Classification No. V-3. The fuel for the Heating Plant at the Congress Circle Campus has been planned for gas (Interruptible Boiler Fuel Service) during the summer months and oil during the winter months when gas is not available under this contract. The Service Classification recommended for the purchase of gas is No. V-3. This recommendation has been reviewed and concurred in by Sargent and Lundy, Consulting Engineers for the Heating Plant. I concur. On motion of Mr. Swain, this contract was authorized by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Page, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; not voting, Mr. Johnston; absent, Mr. Dilliard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Kerner. CONTRACT FOR ELECTRICAL SERVICE FOR HEATING PLANT AT CONGRESS CIRCLE (9) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend authorization of an agreement with Commonwealth Edison Company, Chicago, for the electrical service at the Congress Circle Campus, and that the University pay Commonwealth Edison Company the standard excess facility charges of $12,920. The planning for Congress Circle Campus construction requires installation of electrical service from Commonwealth Edison Company at the Heating Plant, 1100 South Morgan Street, Chicago. Commonwealth Edison will supply electricity at 69 K V transformed to supply the University at 12 K V and 4 KV. The provision for 4 K V service (for the operation of large motors in the Heating Plant) is basically the reason for the excess facility charges of $12,920. Sargent and Lundy, Consulting Engineers for the Heating Plant, estimated that the cost for supplying separate transformers to provide 4 K V service would be approximately $40,000. By the acceptance of the excess facility charges, the University will save approximately $27,000. The demand and energy charges are the same as presently experienced at the undergraduate campus at Navy Pier, on a twenty-four month demand basis. Funds are available in the state capital appropriations to the University from the Universities Building Fund. I concur. On motion of Mr. Swain, this contract was authorized by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Page, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Dilliard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Kerner.
