ADDITION TO THE GENERAL CONTRACT FOR THE ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING BUILDING

(5) The Physical Plant Department recommends a change in the construction of the Electrical Engineering Building by substituting four inches of brick for the Haydite block construction originally specified for the center of the exterior walls. Wall leakage has occurred in the Physics Research Laboratory recently constructed and it is the opinion of the University Architect that this is probably due to the use of concrete brick made with Haydite aggregate which forms a part of the exterior wall construction. The John Felmley Company has submitted an estimate of $2,567.62 for the additional cost of the change in the construction of the exterior walls of the Electrical Engineering Building. The Director of the Physical Plant Department and the Comptroller recommend that the change be made. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller and Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute an addition to the contract. O n motion of M r s . Holt, this addition to contract was approved and authority given as recommended.
