MINUTES OF THE MEETING
of the
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
July 11, 1968
During the summer, bids will be taken for minor construction
projects both at Michigan State and at Oakland. It was
recommended that the Board authorize the officers of the University,
Mr. Stevens, and Mr. Thompson, to act for the Trustees approving
the awarding of contracts to low bidders on these minor projects.
Bids will be taken for the classroom building at Oakland
University which is a multimillion dollar building. When these
bids are taken, if the low bids are within the budget and
the funds available, this item will be handled through telephone
conversations with the Trustees by Mr. Wilkinson and Mr. Breslin.
In the event that the low bids are in excess of the funds
available, it will be necessary to go back to the State Building
Department and the Capital Outlay Committee of the legislature
for supplementary funds or approval of changes in scope of
the project, and rebidding.
On motion by Dr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Hartman, it was
voted to approve the procedures outlined above.
