(9) On July 12, 1990, the Board of Trustees authorized the award of construction contracts to English Brothers Company for the general work and Witte Electric Company for the electrical work for the Area Studies and International Programs Building at the Urbana campus. T h e contracts did not include provisions for underground electric, fire alarm, and campus signal service from the Speech and Hearing Clinic Building to the proposed building since easements had not been obtained from adjacent properties. Since that time, an adjacent property located at 501 East Daniel has been acquired by the University which will permit the proposed building to receive underground electric, fire alarm, and campus signal service. It is now desirable to increase the contracts of the two contractors to undertake the underground work to the proposed building as well as to expand the surface parking area. T h e parking area work of English Brothers Company includes site demolition, mass excavation, site preparation, site fill and grading, site concrete, stone base, asphalt paving, handrails, and landscape timbers. T h e work of Witte Electric Company is to provide new underground steel conduit, new exterior switch, underground wiring, signal and fire alarm wire as well as new circuit breakers. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the contract with English Brothers Company be increased by $54,666.93 and the contract with Witte Electric Company be increased by $60,483.80 for the work described above.
