QUARTERLY REPORT OF T H E COMPTROLLER

(14) The Comptroller presents his quarterly report to the Board as of September 30, 1957.

This report was received for record and a copy has been filed with the Secretary of the Board.

CONTRACT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE DIGITAL COMPUTER LABORATORY (15) On September 12, 1957, bids were received for the construction of the Digital Computer Laboratory. A schedule of these bids has been filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. Because these bids were in excess of available funds they were rejected and confirmation of this action is requested. In the bidding instructions, the University included the standard reservation of the right to reject any or all bids. The drawings and specifications for this building were revised and new bids were taken on November 14. T h e Director of the Physical Plant Department and the Comptroller recommend award of a contract for $338,035 to C. A. Petry and Sons, Inc., Champaign, the lowest bidder. The base bid is $335,660. The contract recommended would include the addition of an alternate for furnishing and installing chalkboards, $1,800, and another for limestone window sills in place of extruded aluminum and masonry panelled construction, $575. The Board of Trustees has already assigned $250,000 from accumulated indirect cost funds for research contracts for this building and an appropriation of $100,000 from the General Reserve fund is being recommended at todays meeting. Funds are also available in the state capital appropriations for 1957-59 for the extension of the Utilities Distribution System to this building. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute this contract.
