The total cost of the Snack Bar remodeling project now amount to: Construction $.115,000 Food Service Equipment 9,000 Architects Fees 12,000 Furniture « Furnishings 24,000 Contingency 9^000 Total $169,000 This is still $19,000 over the maximum ceiling approved by the Board of Regents last fail. However, since there were no revisions to the original specifications, except deletion of two options, at least there is no need to re-bid the project. At this time, with the endorsement of the Executive Committee of the Union Board, I would like to request: 1. Board of Regents authorization to spend an additional $19,000 (Reserve Fund). 2. Awarding the contract to Ponderosa Construction Company. If the Board of Regents could act favorably on this request at its May 26 meeting, it is conceivable that we could have a completed new snack bar by the end oP August, before the fall classes begin. I would, therefore, greatly appreciate your seeking Dr. Dixon's approval to add this request as an emergency item on the agenda or the ..next Board of Regents meeting.
