CONTRACT FOR REROOFING AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING
AND FILTRATION PLANT BUILDINGS
(19) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller
recommend award of a contract for $4,430 to Industrial Roofing Company, Mattoon,
the lowest bidder, for reroofing the Agricultural Engineering and Filtration Plant
Buildings.
Funds are available in the budget of the Physical Plant Department.
I concur and recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board

On motion of Mr. Swain, this contract was awarded, and the

CONTRACT FOR EXTENSION OF PNEUMATIC TUBE SYSTEM IN THE
RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL HOSPITALS
(20) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller
recommend the award of a contract for $15,071 to the Lamson Corporation, Chicago,
for extension of the present pneumatic tube system in the Research and Educational
Hospitals to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic area. This is a non-competitive
item because the Lamson Corporation installed the present system and other firms
can not furnish compatible component parts for this extension.
The work will consist of the installation of a substation in the Obstetrics and
Gynecology Clinic on the first floor of the Research and Educational Hospitals to
connect with the Medical Records Department in the basement. It will also include
installation of a new power exhauster unit and modification of present exhaust and
intake manifolds.
This will be a part of the remodeling program in the Research and Educational
Hospitals, for which funds are available in the state appropriation for "Rehabilitations
and Minor Additions to Existing Buildings."
I concur and recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board
be authorized to execute this contract.
On motion of Mrs. Watkins, this contract was awarded, and the
Comptroller and Secretary of the Board were authorized to execute
the same.
ADDITIONS TO CONTRACTS FOR ADDITION TO
LINCOLN AVENUE RESIDENCE
(21) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller
recommend the following increases in contracts for the construction of the addition
to the Lincoln Avenue Residence to provide bedrooms and storage space in the area
originally planned as a snack bar:
Electric — Aschinger Electric Company, Streator $3 797 75
Plumbing — Robert R. Murphy, Chicago 5 983 00
Funds are available in the construction fund for this project. Elimination of the
snack bar will result in reductions in the general contract and the equipment contract
which will more than offset these increases.
I concur and recommend that the Comptroller of the Board be authorized to
execute the necessary contract changes.
On motion of Mr. Herrick, the Comptroller was authorized to
execute this change in the contract.
