Increase in Contract, Law Building Addition and Remodeling, Urbana

(10) In November 1990 and May 1991, the Board of Trustees authorized the employment of O'Donnell, Wicklund, Pigozzi and Peterson, Architects, Inc., Deerfield, to provide the architectural/engineering services required from the program definition/concept development phase through the bidding phase of the Law Building Addition and Remodeling project at the Urbana campus. In order to complete construction by the fall semester of 1993, it will be necessary to phase the planning and construction. To this end, the architect will be required to develop multiple bid packages as well as alternates not anticipated in the original project. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the contract with O'Donnell, Wicklund, Pigozzi and Peterson, Architects, Inc., Deerfield, be increased by $58,700 to provide the services described above. Funds are available from private gift funds through the University of Illinois Foundation. Upon receipt of satisfactory bids, the board will be asked to approve construction contracts and to employ the architect/engineer through the construction phase of the project.
