BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[June 16

PURCHASE OF COAL FOR CHICAGO DEPARTMENTS (28) The Director of the Physical Plant, the Business Manager of the Chicago Colleges, and the Comptroller recommend award of a contract to Crerar Clinch Coal Company, 28 East Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, the lowest bidder, for 25,000 tons of screenings coal to be delivered to the Medical Center Steam Plant, which is operated by the University, as required during the period July 1, 1955, to June 30, 1956, at a per ton cost of $3.65, plus transportation of $1.28, plus $.48 for handling', storage, and delivery, or a total estimated cost of $135,250. This price is based on the present wage scale and is subject to increase or decrease in the event that wage contracts now in effect are changed, and any such change will affect the price to the extent that the production costs are increased or decreased by the new wage contracts. The University has the right of approval of any such increase in price. The lowest bid is determined by the number of British thermal units per one cent of cost based on guaranteed analysis. A continuous check is provided at the Steam Company Plant to insure compliance with the specifications. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute the contract subject to approval by the Governor as required by the State Constitution.

On motion of Mr. Johnston, this contract was awarded and the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board were authorized to execute the same, subject to the Governor's approval.
