[June 13

Such adjustments will be based upon the unit prices submitted by the contractor in his proposal. Funds have been included in the Chicago Physical Plant Institutional Funds budget request submitted to the Board of Trustees for Fiscal Year 1992. T h e award of the contract is subject to the availability of these funds. O n motion of Mr. Boyle, this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n was approved by t h e following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. L a m o n t , Ms. Reese, Mrs. S h e p h e r d , Mr. Wolff; no, n o n e ; absent, G o v e r n o r Edgar. ( T h e student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Forbes; absent, Ms. Kelly.) Contract, Arborist Work, Urbana (26) On November 15, 1990, the Board of Trustees approved the award of a costplus contract to B&L Tree Service, Inc., Champaign, for arborist work (including tree removal and planting) at the Urbana campus for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1991, with an option to extend the contract from July 1, 1991, to June 30, 1992, under the same terms and conditions. T h e president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the option described now be exercised. Funds as required will be authorized by a contract work order which will be charged against funds allocated for each project. (The Operation and Maintenance Division at the Urbana campus has recommended the exercise of the option since the work performed by the contractor has been satisfactory, and a review indicates that the option price would be more favorable than the probable bid price.) O n motion of Mr. Boyle, this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n was approved by t h e following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. L a m o n t , Ms. Reese, Mrs. S h e p h e r d , Mr. Wolff; no, n o n e ; absent, G o v e r n o r Edgar. ( T h e student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Forbes; absent, Ms. Kelly.) Increase in Contract, Dual Fuel Cogeneration Power Plant, Chicago (27) On November 15, 1990, the Board of Trustees authorized the award and assignment to First National Bank of Chicago as lessor/trustee of a contract for $2,242,286 to John Burns Construction Company, Orland Park, for the general work for the construction of the dual fuel cogeneration power plant at the Chicago campus. During the excavation for the project, two solid brick obstructions measuring approximately 10 x 10 x 20 feet on 4 feet deep concrete footing, which appear to be some kind of kiln, were uncovered. T h e contractor and architect have agreed that the additional cost to remove these obstructions is $103,773. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the contract with John Burns Construction Company, Orland Park, be increased by $103,773 for the work described above. Funds for this project are provided by the lessor/trustee from the proceeds of the sale of certificates of participation. O n motion of Mr. Boyle, this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n was approved by t h e following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Grabowski,
