The University of Kansas accepted an $8.94 million bid for the general construction of a new Human Development Center, James E. Modig, director of the office of facilities planning, said yesterday.
The low bid, submitted by the Dahlstrom and Ferrell Construction Company, Inc. of Topeka, was one of six base bids offered to the University when bidding began May 18.
A base bid is a bid for construction of the building without such things as heating and utility construction.
"We were basically trying to buy the most for the money available," Modig said. "Taking the base bid is kind of like buying the house, and furnishing it later."
The actual cost of the center is about $9.5 million, which includes the base bid and subcontracts, Modig said.
The capital available for construction of the four-story, 127,000-square-foot building consisted of $9 million in federal grant money and $3 million in University funds.
"Any money left after the cost of construction will be used for miscellaneous expenses, such as architect fees and the costs of installation."
Construction would begin in July, he said, and be completed within two years. Preliminary preparations already have started on the construction.
addition outside the east wing of Haworth Hall on the north side of Sunnyside Avenue. The new building will connect with Haworth through an enclosed walkway on ground level.

"The need to build such a center arose out of space demands." Modig said. "Right now, the human-development faculty is spread out all over campus. They wanted to consolidate the various branches into one space."
The new development center will house research, clinical and teaching facilities for the Bureau of Child Research, the Institute for Life Span Studies, and the departments of Human Development and Family Life and Special Education.
"It's probably time to look at the parking situation in a more comprehensive manner." Praeger said.
This situation may change, though, if Praeger's plans for two-hour parking meters are realized.
The proposal, originated by Commissioner Sandra Praeger, calls for replacing the existing one-hour meters with two-hour meters.
The Lawrence City Commission last night deferred action for a month on a proposal to install new parking meters downtown along Massachusetts Street until the Downtown Lawrence Association and a consultant can research potential problems.

time shopping downtown often are greeted by a little yellow ticket upon returning to their cars.
Praeger said that about two weeks ago she decided that two-hour parking meters on Massachusetts Street would be a fairly inexpensive way to make downtown shopping easier.
The DLA agrees that the time on parking meters should be extended, Praeger said. But they disagree on the amount of time. The DLA has suggested having 90-minute parking meters.
Praeger said changing the parking meters would cost about $6,000.
The DLA also is looking into the problem of employee parking in the downtown area, Praeger said.
Now, there are several free two-hour parking lots downtown and metered parking spaces of various times along the side streets.
