On motion of Dr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Thompson, it
was voted to approve all Oakland University Items.
Communication from Mr. May:
A letter has been received from Mr. Varner advising that
only one bid was received for bleachers for the west half
of the gymnasium in the Intramural Building. This bid in the
amount of $23,980 from the McFadden Corporation is higher
that the original estimate, but is believed to be a fair price
for the equipment specified.
The Laich Equipment Company originally drew plans, but later
advised that their equipment had not been tested sufficiently
for them to bid on this particular installation. The Michigan
School Service also drew bids, but found that their equipment
would not fit into the space in the Intramural Building without
alterations. They, therefore, decided not to bid, but have
indicated that their price would have been $24,860.
It is recommended that the Trustees authorize the contract
with the McFadden Corporation in the amount of $23,980, and
that the cost of the installation be charged against Oakland
University's Reserve for Student Services Facilities.
On motion by Mr. Merriman, seconded by Mr. Nisbet, it
was voted to approve the above recommendation. (p.281)
