Contract, Parking Structures C7 and C10, Restoration and Waterproofing, Urbana

(14) The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the award of a contract to Western Waterproofing Company, Detroit, Michigan, for $718,475 for the restoration and waterproofing of Parking Structures C7 and CIO at the Urbana campus. The award is to the lowest responsible bidder based on its base bid. It is also recommended that the project engineer, Carl Walker Engineers, Kalamazoo, Michigan, be employed for the contract administration services required during the construction phase of the project on a fixed-fee basis of $28,800; and to provide the required on-site observation on an hourly basis, estimated at $39,000, plus authorized reimbursements estimated to be $24,000. Funds are available through the proceeds of the Auxiliary Facilities System, Series 1991 Revenue Bond issue. A schedule of the bids received and the engineer's hourly rate schedule have been filed with the secretary of the board for record. The work consists of the repair of numerous damaged and broken post-tensioned (structural) reinforcing tendons and the patching of small concrete areas on the elevated deck slabs on both structures. The project also consists of the waterproofing (and saltproofing) of the elevated decks with a urethane waterproofing membrane.

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

(15) The original $3,200,000 Single Student Residence renovation project consisted of four major components which included recarpeting of apartments, installation of vinyl wall coverings, minor bathroom remodeling, and remodeling kitchens. However, the original project construction cost estimate did not anticipate phasing the construction over a two-year period which is necessary to maximize the occupancy revenue during construction and to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, which became effective on January 26, 1992. Prior to bidding, these considerations were incorporated into the contract documents and resulted in an increase in the project budget. There are sufficient savings from other Chicago auxiliary bondfunded projects to reallocate to the Single Student Residence renovation project. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the increase of the project budget to $4,050,000 and award of the following contracts for the renovation of the 16-
