Heating, Refrigeration, and Temperature Control — Ideal Heating Company, Chicago 14 444 Ventilating — Anderson and Litwack Company, Hillside 16 750 Total $182 765 It is further recommended that all contracts other than the general contract be assigned to the contractor for general work, making the total of his contract price $182,765. It is further recommended that an agreement be entered into with Pathman Construction Company for the assignment of these other contracts for $5,000, 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 general contractor. (The general contractor has agreed to reduce this service charge to $1,300, approximately 2Vi per cent of the amount of the contracts assigned to him for supervision. However, the action awarding the contract should include the amount of the service charge as $5,000, this being the bid submitted, with the understanding that a credit change order for $3,700 will be issued simultaneously with the execution of the contract to reduce the actual service charge to $1,300.) A National Science Foundation grant of $110,000 has been received for the construction of the antenna laboratory under the condition that it be matched by University funds of at least the same amount. Funds are available for the University's $110,000 share of the cost from the state capital appropriations to the University for 1961-63 from the Universities Building Fund and have been released by the Governor.
