Project Approval and Amendment to Architectural/Engineering Contract, Campus Bookstore/Support Unit Office Space, Urbana

(21) In September 1991, the Board of Trustees authorized the employment of VOA Associates, Inc., Chicago, for the professional architectural and engineering services required through the receipt of bids for the proposed 50,000 gross square foot (gsf), $13.4 million campus bookstore facility. The Board of Trustees also authorized the employment of the firm to investigate the feasibility (through the schematic design phase) of adding two additional floors for support unit office space to the project. In November 1991, the Board of Trustees was presented, as an illustration of the planning process, the preliminary proposed design for the "expanded" project. Following a review of the University's support unit space requirements and current costs associated with rental space for such units, it is proposed to proceed with a project combining a 50,400 gsf campus bookstore (basement and two floors) and 41,400 gsf of office space (three floors). In order for the project to proceed in accordance with the desired schedule, it is necessary to employ VOA Associates, Inc., for the professional architectural and engineering services required through the receipt of bids for the office space. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the campus bookstore project be increased to include approximately 41,400 gsf of office space and that the professional services agreement with VOA Associates, Inc., be amended to include the additional services required through the receipt of bids at a fixed fee of $121,000 plus additional reimbursements authorized in writing by the University, which are estimated to be $26,550. Funds are available from the proceeds of the Series 1991 Revenue Bond issue and the plant funds of the Auxiliary Facilities System.

On motion of Mr. Boyle, these recommendations were 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.
