Capital Development Board Projects, Chicago and Urbana

(44) Representatives of the Capital Development Board (CDB) have expressed a willingness to assign increased responsibilities to the Board of Trustees for the planning and construction of selective capital projects for the University of Illinois. Benefits to the University may be realized by adopting procedures which would eliminate duplicate staff review, resulting in a savings of time and/or in the development of a construction time frame which relates better to the planned academic use of the remodeled space. The discussions to date presume that the CDB would continue to execute a professional services agreement with the architect/engineer for each project and contracts with each prime contractor. It is anticipated that the University would assume greater day-to-day responsibility for overseeing the implementation of those contracts. The University may request some revisions and/or modifications to standard CDB documents in order to perform the assigned responsibilities effectively. Following are the projects which will be included in the proposed interagency agreement: Urbana Davenport Hall, Phase IV Morrill and Burrill Hall ventilation Replace plaza deck, Undergraduate Library Law Building ventilation improvements Library elevator ' Chicago Remodel for Biological Sciences Office> Science and Engineering Laboratories Remodel laboratory for organic chemistry, Science and Engineering Laboratories Remodel Molecular Biology Laboratory, Science and Engineering Laboratories Relocate instructional laboratory, Chemical Engineering Building Automate passenger elevators, College of Medicine West Renovate elevators, Associated Health Professions Building

State statutes provide that the CDB and the University may contract with each other and other parties for the design and construction of any project to be constructed for or upon University property. This contract will probably take the form of an interagency agreement. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the administration proceed to negotiate an agreement with the CDB to undertake the projects listed above or other "Build Illinois" projects as may be agreed upon between the parties.
