37° BOARD OF TRUSTEES [ M a y 21 CONTRACTS FOR PARKING LOTS AND SIDEWALKS (20) Bids have been taken for the construction of parking lots and sidewalks in the areas indicated in the accompanying schedule. T h e parking lot bids were taken on hot-mix asphalt surfacing specifications (such as is usually used on public streets). Alternate bids were also invited on a cold-plant mix surfacing and a crushed rock surfacing with an asphalt binder, both of which are inferior to the hot-mix asphalt. The bids on the two alternates were not sufficiently lower to merit consideration and are therefore not shown. All contractors known to be interested were invited to bid on the sidewalk construction but only one qualified bid was received, from Lynne Meyer, Urbana. Funds are available for the construction of parking lots and sidewalks, the source of the funds being indicated in the bid schedule. The Director of the Physical Plant Department and the Comptroller recommend award of contracts to the lowest bidders as follows: For parking lots, Champaign Asphalt Company, Champaign $35 355 00 For sidewalks, Lynne Meyer, Urbana 7 608 50 I concur and recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute the contracts. On motion of Mr. Livingston, the contract for parking lots was awarded as recommended; the matter of the construction of sidewalks was referred to the Committee on Buildings and Grounds, to secure new bids and to award the contract. INCREASE IN CONTRACT FOR BUILDING ALTERATIONS IN RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL HOSPITALS (21) On January 13, 1949 (Minutes, page 211), the Board of Trustees authorized a contract with E. H . Marhoefer, Jr., Company, Chicago, for building alterations in the Research and Educational Hospitals to provide additional and improved quarters for the Department of Physical Medicine. On recommendation of the H e a d of the Department, the Director of the Physical Plant Department and the Comptroller recommend a change in this contract to include the installation of a ventilation system and to provide for the future installation of air conditioning in the hydrotherapeutic quarters. T h e design of these installations had not been completed when the contract was awarded and it was let without this work to expedite the remodeling. The change will require an addition of $3,376.80. Funds are available for this increase in the appropriation made by the Board of Trustees for this work. I concur, O n m o t i o n of M r .
