ADDITION TO CONTRACTS FOR ANIMAL SCIENCES LABORATORY (15) T h e Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend increases of $7,405.33 in the contract with Gallaher and Speck, Incorporated, Chicago, for heating installations and of $2,304 in the contract with Bloomer Heating and Ventilating Company, Chicago, for air-conditioning work in the Animal Sciences Laboratory to provide for the installation of five sets of preheat coils in the ventilating and air-conditioning system to eliminate the danger of freezing the cooling coils and heating coils during cold weather. W h e n the systems were designed it was the judgment of the engineers in the firm of Naess and Murphy, architects for the building, that the coils would not freeze if all controls and equipment were operating properly. Nevertheless, since freezing is possible, such potential damage to research work makes the installation of additional controls a desirable safeguard. T h e cost of the preheat coils has also been considered in comparison with the cost of repairs from freezing, plus the inconvenience and possible damage to research work, and the conclusion of all concerned now is that the risk of eliminating these installations is too great. Funds are available in the state appropriation for the building. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller be authorized to execute the necessary change order. On motion of Mr. Herrick, the Comptroller was authorized to execute this change in the contract.
