1992] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 473 engineering professional services required for the program analysis and schematic design phases for the Lincoln Avenue and Allen Residence Halls' Common Areas Improvements, Urbana. The contract was on an hourly basis not to exceed $17,250. 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 $56,000, plus authorized reimbursements estimated to be $2,000. The construction observation will be provided on an hourly basis not to exceed $3,000. 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.) Authorization for Settlement (15) The university counsel and the vice president for business and finance recommend that the board approve settlement of the case of Romane vs. Ketel, et al., in the amount of $120,000. The plaintiff alleged that defendants improperly inserted a central venous catheter, resulting in cardiac tamponade, and that additional surgery was made necessary, including removal of the colon, the spleen, and a transplanted kidney. The principal defense was that rejection of the transplanted kidney was unrelated to problems with the catheter but resulted from a mismatch of tissue by the University of Illinois Hospital, which was not named as a defendant. I recommend approval. 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.) Purchases (16) The president submitted, with his concurrence, a list of purchases recommended by the directors of purchases and the vice president for business and finance. The purchases were presented in two categories: purchases from appropriated funds (i.e., from State appropriations to the University); and purchases from institutional funds. The latter term designates funds received by the University under contracts with the United States government, private corporations, and other organizations; grants from foundations, corporations, and other donors; and University revolving funds authorized by law. The total amounts of these purchases were:
