CHANGE IN CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF ANIMAL QUARTERS FOR DEPARTMENT OF PHYSIOLOGY (17) A contract for the construction (general work) of animal holding quarters for the Department of Physiology was awarded to Lewis S. Colbert, Champaign, on a cost plus fee basis, under the terms of his standing contract for the year ending June 30, 1949, for minor improvements. The preliminary estimate of cost was $4,700 but the present estimate will exceed this by $1,525. Funds are available in the Physical Plant budget. The Department of Physiology has also requested some additional work (more cages and concrete runways) on these animal quarters, not specified in the original plans. The estimated cost is $4,200 of which $1,800 can be supplied by the Physical Plant Department. There is before the Board a separate recommendation for a supplementary appropriation of $2,400 to the Department of Physiology. It is estimated that the work to be done by the general contractor on this additional construction will cost $1,250. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend approval of additions to the contract with Lewis S. Colbert of $1,525 to cover the excess over estimated cost, and $1,250 to cover the additional work requested by the Department of Physiology. There have been no previous change orders on this project recommended to the Board. I concur and request that the Comptroller be authorized to execute these contract additions.

On motion of Mrs. Holt, this recommendation was adopted.
