BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[February 13

for the University to employ an engineer at this time in order that plans, specifications, and contract documents can be completed by March 20, 1992, and bids can be received by IDOT (DOA) on or about May 1, 1992. It is in the best interest of the University to proceed immediately with the employment of Crawford, Murphy & Tilly, Inc., Springfield. Their selection is considered an exemption to Public Act 87673 (Architectural, Engineering, and Land Surveying Qualifications-Based Selection Act). Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the University employ the firm of Crawford, Murphy 8c Tilly, Inc., Springfield, to provide the professional engineering services required through the receipt of bids at a fee not to exceed $152,000. Funds, on an interim basis, will be provided from the Restricted Funds Operating Budget of Willard Airport; and upon award of the Federal grant, reimbursement of these costs will be requested from the FA A and DOA (IDOT).

On motion of Dr. Bacon, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Downey, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Reese, Ms. Shepherd; no, none; absent, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Ms. Caporusso, Mr. Mitchell; no, none.)

Amendment to Architectural/Engineering Contract, Illinois Street Residence Halls' Common Areas Improvements, Urbana

(13) On December 26, 1991, an agreement was executed between the Board of Trustees and the firm of Architectural Spectrum, Champaign, for the architectural and engineering professional services required for the program analysis and schematic design phases for the Illinois Street Residence Halls' Common Areas Improvements, Urbana. The contract was on an hourly basis not to exceed $10,000. It is now necessary to employ the firm for the professional services required through the completion of the project. Therefore, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the agreement be amended to include the professional services required through the completion of the project at a fixed fee of $90,000, plus authorized reimbursements estimated to be $5,000. The construction observation will be provided on an hourly basis not to exceed $12,000. A schedule of the firm's hourly rate has been filed with the secretary of the board for record. Funds are available through the proceeds of the Auxiliary Facilities System, Series 1991 Revenue Bond issue.

On motion of Dr. Bacon, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Downey, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Reese, Ms. Shepherd; no, none; absent, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Ms. Caporusso, Mr. Mitchell; no, none.)
