Change Order for Computer System, Civil Engineering Department, Urbana

(13) Since early 1971, the Civil Engineering Department on the Urbana campus has been working under the Building Computer Technology Project to extend research in the area of computer-aided design and on-line, time-sharing computation. T h e Board of Trustees approved the lease of the special computer equipment from Burroughs Corporation on January 20, 1971, and a subsequent change order to increase the computer system capacity in order to meet needs. A recent review of the operations and funding of the Building Computer Technology Project determined that changes in the computer configuration and maintenance service would make the system more effective and financially sound. These changes will result in a net reduction of University expenditures of $8,400 monthly. This change involving computer equipment is considered exempt from the sealed bid procedures. T h e University Computer Coordination Office has given approval. T h e Vice President for Planning and Allocation, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends the change order be completed with Burroughs Corporation. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Hahn, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Livingston, Mrs. Rader, Mr. Swain; no, none; absent, Dr. Bakalis, Mr. Neal, Mr. Steger, Governor Walker.
