This Record Sub-Group contains contractual documents created and received by the University System's Office of Business Management during the tenure of Business Manager Dale Bowling. The records in this Sub-Group consist of memoranda of understanding, contracts, agreements, leases and supporting correspondence. Included are contracts for construction, repair, and demolition of University facilities; leases of federal lands and equipment from companies as well as leases for University properties to renters; agreements and contracts for services, transfer of assets and cooperative arrangements for programs; and insurance policies activated by the University for structural fire damage of Cramer Hall in 1973. Individual files may contain original signed construction contracts, change orders, performance bonds, payment vouchers, affidavits, periodic estimate for partial payment, correspondence, insurance policies, notices to proceed, and certificates of completion.

Historical Note:

The position of Business Manager for the University was created in 1914 and was filled by Edward Brown. Upon his death in 1920 he was replaced by Leslie Cowan, who, in addition to supervising all of the University's business affairs, was Secretary to the Board of Curators. In 1944 Leslie Cowan became Vice President in Charge of Business Operations, and the position of Business Manager remained unfilled until Dale Bowling was hired in 1955. Bowling retained the title and took on responsibilities for the four campus system when it was created in 1963. In 1970 the title was changed to Vice President for Business Management and the position of Business Manager was abolished.

Series Descriptions:

This Record Sub-Group is divided into two series. Series One contains construction, renovation, and demolition contracts, arranged alphabetically by the name of the contractor or contracting company. Series Two consists of contracts for acquisition of University of Kansas City properties, cooperative programs, equipment installation and maintenance and various services; leases for real property and equipment; and agreements for programs and activities as well as donations. Series Two retains its original file order.
Note to Archivist: The files in this Records Sub-Group were selected from a much larger volume of files for their importance and enduring historical value . The files selected for retention relate either to capital construction projects or legal arrangements without expiration dates and of continuing historical interest.
