The Summary also indicates a total amount by campus. The board action recommended in this item complies in all material respects with applicable State and federal laws, University of Illinois Statutes, The General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure, and Board of Trustees policies and directives. The Directors of Purchases have proposed and the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer recommends the following purchases, change orders, and renewals. Unless otherwise specified, the purchase in each case is recommended on the basis of the lowest acceptable bid. The President of the University concurs.

Palmer House, Chicago, IL 743 Competitive bidding procedures were followed in accordance with the Illinois Procurement Code. Hotel accommodations are for approximately 105 Executive MBA Program students while attending classes at the Illini Center in Chicago. Lodging at Club Quarters allows students to stay at a hotel within walking distance to their classes at the Illini Center. The cost of accommodations at Club Quarters is 26% less than the only other hotel with availability on the dates required. The cost of lodging is covered in the students’ tuition and fees, making this a cost recovery program. 4 Unit Institute for Genomic Biology/Roy J. Carver Biotechnology Center Item Genomic DNA Sequencing kits for the period of July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. Cost $1,500,000 (estimated) Vendor Roche Diagnostics Corp, Indianapolis, IN This purchase is a sole source because the items are patented, compatible with existing equipment, and required under the service contract for the equipment. Roche Diagnostics Corp. is the only manufacturer and distributor. 3 The kits for the Genomic Sequencer FLX system are used for DNA sequencing by multi-disciplinary researchers in multiple campus departments. The Roche Diagnostics System is operated by the Biotechnology Center. The Center services faculty and staff throughout the University, and it services off campus researchers on a cost recovery basis from sponsored funding from National Institute of Health, National Science Foundation, or United States Department of Agriculture. Roche has agreed to hold the FY09 pricing, which provided a discount of 40%, for FY10. In addition, Roche introduced new reagent kits this year that have increased the data per run such that the University is realizing 4 to 5 times the data for the same price. An additional discount of 20% for Titanium Sequencing Kits has been negotiated for FY10. The prices are considered fair and reasonable. 5 Unit Institute for Genomic Biology, Roy J. Carver Biotechnology Center Item Genome Analyzer System reagents for the period of July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. Cost $500,000 (estimated) Vendor Illumina, Inc., San Diego, CA This purchase is a sole source because the items are patented, compatible with existing equipment, and required for ongoing research. Illumina is the only manufacturer and distributor of these reagents. The purchase of the Illumnia Genome Analyzer Sequencer System was approved by the Board of Trustees on March 26, 2008. The system is the only high throughput genotyping system that can read approximately two billion bases of sequence data for RNA and small DNA. Each run on this system requires reagents and kits that can only be purchased from Illumina because of existing patents and Illumina’s warranty guarantee on the Analyzer system. The reagents for the Genome Analyzer are used for RNA and small DNA sequencing by multi-disciplinary researchers in multiple campus departments. A volume discount of 10% has been negotiated. 4 6 Unit Institute for Genomic Biology, Roy J. Carver Biotechnology Center Item BeadStation kits/reagents for the period of July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010. Cost $500,000 (estimated) Vendor Illumina, Inc., San Diego, CA This purchase is a sole source because the items are patented, compatible with existing equipment, and required for ongoing research. Illumina is the only manufacturer and distributor of these kits/reagents. The purchase of the BeadStation system was approved by the Board of Trustees on September 6, 2007. The system is used in various disciplines to determine the state of genetic markers for the discovery of genes affecting disease, production traits, ecotypes, and other applications in life sciences. The kits/reagents for the BeadStation are used for single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping by multi-disciplinary researchers in multiple campus departments. The kits can only be purchased from Illumina because of existing patents and Illumina’s warranty guarantee on the BeadStation analyzer system. They are not available from any other vendor at this time. A volume discount of 10% has been negotiated plus a 20% discount on the Infinium Bovine items. 7 Unit Electrical and Computer Engineering Item Femtosecond Laser System Cost $407,208 Vendor Kapteyn-Murnane Laboratories, Inc., Boulder, CO This purchase is a sole source because the item is patented, and Kapteyn- Murnane Laboratories, Inc. is the only manufacturer and distributor. The femtosecond laser system is the only complete commercially 5 manufactured, cryogenically cooled, femtosecond laser that can produce laser pulses as short as 45 fs (45 10-15 seconds) which are considerably shorter in duration than those available to researchers in the past. The availability of this laser system will open the door to new physics that will ultimately yield new optical sources. Additionally, this system will be used to develop a compact, deep-ultraviolet laser that could make a major contribution in how integrated circuits (“computer chips”) are manufactured. The Department of Materials Science and Engineering will use this system for research resulting in benefits to medicine and the monitoring of toxins in the environment. The price is considered fair and reasonable. A discount of $21,432 has been negotiated. The equipment will be over 90% grant funded. 8 Unit Department of Geology Item Multibeam Echo Sounder System Cost $414,598 Vendor RESON Inc., Goleta, CA This purchase is a sole source because there are no technically comparable systems available on the market. Urbana-Champaign researchers have developed a suite of software routines using a range of shallow-water Multibeam Echo Sounders (MBES) systems that have been leased over the past eight years. The NSF funding now allows the purchase of this MBES system, which is the very latest, state-of-the-art, shallow-water system. It will allow for unique future research capabilities as well as the continuation of several existing projects. In addition, it is compatible with existing equipment at collaborating institutions. MBES have become the research tool of choice for providing highly accurate quantification of the shape of landscapes beneath the oceans, lakes, and rivers. This high quality

The evaluation and operative treatment of these aneurysms necessitates a perfect surgical strategy based on review of three-dimensional (3D) angioarchitecture using several radiologic imaging methods. We analyzed the influence of 3D virtual reality (VR) reconstructions versus conventional computed tomography angiography (CTA) scans on the identification of vascular anatomy and on surgical planning in patients with unruptured ACoA aneurysms. Medical files were retrospectively analyzed regarding patient- and disease-related data. Preoperative CTA scans were retrospectively reconstructed to 3D-VR images and visualized via VR software to detect the characteristics of unruptured ACoA aneurysms.

Contraindications This device is not designed, sold, or intended for any use except as indicated. Complications Bleeding may occur at the site of the drill hole, originating from the scalp, bone, dural, or cerebral areas.
