BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Quly 11

( T h e student advisory vote was: Aye, Ms. Caporusso, Mr. Mitchell; no, none.) Supplemental Funding, Pharmacy Building Air Conditioning, Chicago (Contract with Capital Development Board) (23) In 1984, the Board of Trustees requested the Capital Development Board to employ an engineer (EME, Inc., Lombard), for the planning of improvements in the ventilating and air-conditioning systems in the Pharmacy Building at the Chicago campus. As the construction progressed, numerous existing field conditions required changes to the designed systems and additions to the scope of work. These field conditions resulted in rerouting of ductwork and piping because of obstructions encountered; replacement of existing construction which was deteriorated; and rerouting of mechanical systems to permit continued occupancy of teaching, research, and administrative office areas. T h e supplemental funds now required to complete the project are $160,000. T h e Capital Development Board and the project engineer have advised that it is not feasible to reduce the scope of the project at this time. T h e Capital Development Board has no funds available for the additional work and has asked the University to finance it. T h e State statute provides that the Capital Development Board and the University may contract with each other and other parties on the design and construction of any project to be constructed on University property. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the University now contract with the Capital Development Board to complete the project at an additional cost not to exceed $160,000. University funds are available in the Fiscal Year 1992 institutional funds operating budget of the Chicago Physical Plant. 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 ; n o , n o n e ; absent, G o v e r n o r Edgar, Mr. Wolff. ( T h e student advisory vote was: Aye, Ms. Caporusso, Mr. Mitchell; no, none.) Employment of Engineer/Planner, Assembly Hall Parking Lot Renovation, Phase I, Urbana (24) T h e president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the employment of Berns Clancy & Associates, Urbana, for the initial professional engineering and planning services required for the renovation of the Assembly Hall parking lot at the Urbana campus. T h e firm's fee for the professional services required for the program definition and schematic design phases of the project will be on an hourly rate basis, the total not to exceed $48,950 plus reimbursements estimated to be $2,700. Funds are available from the proceeds of the Series 1991 Auxiliary Facilities System Revenue Bond issue. A schedule of the firm's hourly rates has been filed with the secretary of the board for record. 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. G r a v e n h o r s t , Mr. L a m o n t , Ms. Reese, Mrs. S h e p h e r d ; no, n o n e ; absent, G o v e r n o r Edgar, Mr. Wolff.
