Southern Illinois University Board of Trustees approved a ten-year, $20 million contract to purchase food products from U.S. Food Service at Thursday's board meeting.
SIU will purchase approximately $2 million each year in food items, as well as items used in food preparation and service for SIUE Dining Services.
Also approved at the meeting was a measure rejecting current bids for a SIUE School of Dental Medicine project. The project was initially budgeted $900,000 to expand the dispensing and sterilization facility. The measure increases the budget of the project to $1.25 million.
The BOT hopes to reduce the expense of the project by approaching bidders in the "'less busy' construction season."
The renovation will be funded with SDM Clinic operation funds, SDM facility and equipment use fees and donated funds.
