Increase in Contract, Memorial Stadium Restoration, Urbana (Report of the President's Action)

(17) On October 10, 1991, the Board of Trustees authorized the award of a contract for $5,415,000 to Petry-Kuhne Company/Jones-Blythe Construction Company, Springfield, for the demolition and general work for the Memorial Stadium restoration project. During the contemplated demolition of the rear balcony masonry wall, it was discovered that the top flanges of many of the concealed steel wall support beams had deteriorated due to years of moisture penetration. The architect has recommended that the flanges be repaired. The cost of the work is $43,923. In order that the project not be delayed, it was essential that this work be undertaken immediately. Accordingly, the president authorized an increase in the contract of Petry-Kuhne Company/Jones-Blythe Construction Company, Springfield, in the amount of $43,923. In accordance with the General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure, the president reports his action and requests confirmation of it. Funds for this increase are available from the project proceeds of the Auxiliary Facilities System, Series 1991 Revenue Bond issue.

This report was received and confirmed 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.)
