CONTRACTS FOR GENERAL AND ELECTRIC WORK FOR REMODELING DAVENPORT HOUSE A N D ALTERATIONS AT 1 2 0 2 WEST GREEN STREET, URBANA (1) Bids were received and publicly opened at 3 p.m., November 19, 1946, for the general and electric work in the remodeling of Davenport House and alterations at 1202 West Green Street, Urbana. Bids received are summarized as follows: ELECTRIC W O R K Bidder R. A. Bland Electric Co Anderson Electric Co , Guaranteed Maximum Cost #4 994 8 311 Fixed Fee $2 497 2 150 Bid Deposit #249 525 GENERAL WORK Fixed Estimated Completion Bid Bidder Fee Cost Date Deposit Clarence H. Siems $4 435 #39 060 180 work days $2 175 C. A. Petry & Sons 5 080 39 810 150 work days 2 000 The electric bid is on a basis of a guaranteed maximum plus fixed fee, while the general work bid is based on a fixed fee plus estimated cost. For this reason, the Physical Plant Department recommends that the total be considered in connection with electric work which would result in the Bland Electric Company's being lowest at a guaranteed maximum cost of $4,994 plus $2,497, or $7,491On the general work bid, Clarence H . Siems is lowest at a fixed fee of $4,435, the total additional cost estimated at $39,060 (the latter figure of course is not fixed). On this basis, a total cost of $43,495 is indicated for general work. These changes are a part of the program for relocating the Health Service, funds for which are provided in the State Building Appropriation for 1945-1947. The H o m e Economics Department (which now occupies Davenport House) will be moved to 1202 West Green; the Health Service will be moved to Davenport H o u s e ; and the present Health Service Building will be razed to make room for the new Electrical Engineering Building. I recommend that the Comptroller and Secretary of the Board be authorized to conclude a contract with the Bland Electric Company in the amount of $7,491 in accordance with their proposal, and a contract with Clarence H . Siems at a total cost of $43,495, in accordance with that proposal. O n m o t i o n of M r . F o r n o f , t h e s e c o n t r a c t s w e r e a u t h o r i z e d as r e c o m mended.

Only one bid was received, from the Champaign Plumbing and Heating Company bidding on the basis of a total estimated cost of $19,261 including a fixed fee of $3,571, the work otherwise to be on a cost basis. The Physical Plant Department considers this a satisfactory estimate. It was therefore recommended that the contract be awarded to the Champaign Plumbing and Heating Company. O n m o t i o n of M r .
