Negotiations for obtaining proper fee owner- ship and licenses were not completed before the bids expired. The president of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate adminis- trative officers, recommends that the Board of Trustees action of June 21, 1978, authorizing award of the contracts described, be rescinded. (The University is continuing to negotiate with the CTA in order that this project can be rebid in the future. The area under the CTA tracks will be used for surface parking for the new hospital.)

The low bid for Division 111’ was submitted by Certified Mechanical Contractors, Inc., Riverside. In letters dated July 17 and August 28, 1978, the firm notified the University of an arithmetic error in its bid and requested permission to withdraw it since, due to the error, it could not fulfill its contractual obligation without suffering economic hardship. The Physical Plant Department at the Chicago campuses has determined that there is demonstrable evidence that the bidder made a bona fide error in the preparation of the bid and that the error will result in a substantial loss to the bidder and has recommended that the bidder be allowed to withdraiv its bid. The university counsel has advised that under these circumstances the University’s regu- lations allow the University to permit the withdrawal. In accordance with the Regulations Governing Procurement and Bidding at State Systems Universities in Illinois, the president of the University, with the con- currence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends rescission of the board’s action of June 21, 1978, approving the award of a contract to Certified Mechanical Contractors, Inc., and further recommends that the company be allowed to with- draw its bid.
