Increase in Project Budget; and Award of Contracts, Assembly Hall Parking Lot Renovation, Urbana

(18) The original $1.5 million Assembly Hall parking lot renovation project consisted of the first phase of a project to restore the parking lots. The first phase included two of the four quadrants. Due to a favorable bidding climate and economies associated with completion of the entire project at one time, the bid documents were structured to include all four quadrants. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the increase of the project budget to $1.97 million and award of the following contracts for the renovation of the Assembly Hall parking lots at the Urbana campus. The award in each case is to the lowest responsible bidder on its base bid plus acceptance of the alternates indicated.
