MIHDTBS OF•THE. SPECIAL MEETIU& of the STATE BOARD OF A&KICULTUEE August 16, Present: Mr* Brody (Chairman); Messrs. Akers, Armstrong* More; Miss Jones; President Hannah; Treasurer May and Secretary McDonel* Absents Mr* Mueller; Dr. Thurston NEW BUSI&ESS 1. The Board convened at the dinner hour in the Union Building and discussed the history of the development of the Continuing Education and Hotel Building project from its inception. Bids were taken on August 9th. The Kellogg Foundation has agreed to provide $1*400,000 toward the cost of the construction. Provisions have been made in the budget for the current year to make possible the extension of the necessary utilities to the site (water* sewer, electricity and steam) a foot bridge across the Red Cedar River to connect the site the main campus; to provide for the grading, filling, landscaping and surfacing of the parking area; to provide for the furnishings of the building beyond those provided by the hotel industry and the Kellogg Foundation; and our share of the cost of the increased size of the dining hall. The Board reached the following agreement: Discussion of Continuing Education and Hotel Build- ing project a. It was agreed that if, after discussion with Architect Sarvis, Mr. Foster, Mr. Scott, and Mr. Horn it was decided to proceed with the 6th and 7th floors of the building* funds to pay for these floors would be appropriated from accumulated balances in the Barracks housing* Faculty housing, Q,uonset Tillage, et cetera, accounts. b. It was agreed that the policy of operation for this facility* upon completion is to make the lodging facilities available to persons in attendance at the Continuing Education programs and all others having business with the College including alumni, the parents of students* prospective students* visitors to the College, et cetera. It is not to be the policy to make an effort to cater to the general hotel trade in competition with commercial hotels. The primary purpose of the housing and dining facilities is to render service to the clients of Michigan State College. This does not mean that others are to be excluded but no effort will be made to encourage their patronage. At this point Architect Sarvis* Professor Horn* Mr. Foster and Mr. Scott were invited to meet with the Board. Architect Sarvis made a general presentation of the project, discussed the bids and his recommendations* Mr. Foster, Mr. Scott and Mr. Horn discussed briefly the functions of the project and there was considerable questioning and discussion. On motion of Mr. Akers, seconded by Mr. Brody» it was voted to authorize the President* Secretary and Comptroller to negotiate contracts through Architect Sarvis with the low bidders,- the Reniger Construction Conpany of Lansing, the general contract; the R. L. Spitzley Company of Detroit, the plumbing and heating contract; the Hatzel and Buehler of Detroit* the electrical contract; the Garlock Company of Lansing the refrigeration contract; - the exact amount of the various contracts to be negotiated by Mr. Sarvis with the contractors and dependent upon the alternates that are agreed upon. The elevator contract is to be awarded upon the recommendation of Mr. Sarvis since it seems that the low bidder has not bid on the specifications. Upon the successful negotiation of the contract with the general contractor, the beginning of construction is authorised. A detailed tabulation of the bids as taken August 9th is a supplement to these minutes. 2. Mr. Foster and Mr. Scott strongly recommended the acceptance of the alternate bid increasing the cost by approximately $10*000 to provide for circulating ice water in all sleeping rooms and throughout the building; and they also recommended the acceptance of the alternate pro- viding for a central vacuum system throu^iout the building at a cost of approximately $*f,QOO. After considerable discussion, on motion of Mr. Brody, seconded by Mr. More, it was voted to authorize the inclusion of these alternates in the contracts. 3* Mr. Horn* Mr. Foster and Mr. Scott strongly advocated the inclusion of air conditioning in all public areas in the building. This feature is included for the auditorium in the bids as taken and an alternate provides for it in the dining hall and adjacent conference rooms* Ho pro- vision is made for air conditioning and cooling the lobby, the classrooms, other conference rooms or in other areas in the building. After considerable discussion, it was decided to instruct Mr. Sarvis to prepare for the next Board meeting a detailed tabulation of costs involved in providing cooling and air conditioning - Contracts ifor construc- tion of the building are to be negoti- ated with Reniger, Spitzley and Hatzel and :Buehler and ;Garlock Circulating \ ice water to I be included \ in all sleep- ing rooms. Mr. Sarvis instructed to detailed tabulation of costs to provide cooling and air condi- tioning a. For the entire main floor, including classrooms, conference rooms and lobby not now covered in the alternate bids* and b. The cost of providing cooling and air conditioning in one or two floors of sleeping rooms. It is understood that this is not to delay the beginning of construction and that detailed costs will be prepared by the plumbing and heating contractor covering these items before the prime contract with him is negotiated so that if the Board decides to proceed, it can do so. • 1 r 6th and 7th floors of Cont. Educ- building authorized* em- who State re- per College ployees work at Pair to ceive a diem of $12*50 Oorr. Course in heating & vent, de- ferred until next meeting* I NEW BUSINESS» continued August 16. I } \ j j*K In the preliminary discussion, much attention was given to the problems involved in assuring sufficient income from the hotel features of the building to take care of the continuing cost of their operation. This Board feels that the Continuing Education Center must be constructed* equipped and operated so as to assure that the hotel features will stand on their own feet financially- It is not intended to provide any subsidy of college funds for the dining or guest room facilities in this building* It was agreed that one or two addi- tional floors of guest rooms would provide a greater margin of safety for the financial operation of the Center and if it is found that the additional rooms are not required for those involved in the Continuing Education projects consideration can be given to using them for permanently housing faculty members or for use as an additional dormitory for college students. \ Qn motion of Mr* Akers* seconded by Mr. Brody, it was voted to proceed with the construction of the 6th and ?th floors and to authorize the inclusion of these floors in the contracts in accord- ance with the bids submitted with the understanding that the circulating ice water and central vacuum system as previously voted are to be included. On the basis of the bids as submitted* the total cost of the two floors is to be $282*318* subject to revision due to the alternates. A communication from Mr* James D. Friel, Manager of the Michigan State Fairt was read to the Board in which he advocated a per diem of $12*50 for college employees working at the State Fair as a substitute for the previous arrangement that called for submission of itemized ex- pense accounts* This recommendation was concurred in by Dean Anthony. On motion of Mr. Srody* seconded by Mr. Armstrong* it was voted to approve this recommendation* 6. The President presented the recommendation from Dean Miller of the School of Engineering* Dean Combs and Professor Horn to authorize a correspondence course in heating and ventilating and air conditioning. This is to be a non-credit course in cooperation with the American Association of Heating and Ventilating Engineers* The President pointed out that the college had followed a policy of not participating in the correspondence course field and indicated that if this pro- ject is approvedt it should be with the understanding that it is not to be a precedent for the establishment of correspondence courses for college credit* After considerable discussioiu it was decided to authorize Professor Horn to proceed with the pre- liminary arrangements for thi3 course but with the understanding that nothing was to be done that could not be cancelled at the September Board meeting and at that time Dean Miller and Professor Horn would be invited to appear before the Board.
