may contract with each other and other parties for the design and construction of any project to be constructed on University property. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the recision of the board's action of November 14, 1991, concerning the employment of the firm as described; and further recommends that the Capital Development Board be requested to employ the firm of Savage Engineering, Inc., for the revised project and that the University contract with the Capital Development Board to undertake its portion of the project at a cost not to exceed $135,000. The fee for the firm will be negotiated by the Capital Development Board in accordance with its procedures. Funds are available from Build Illinois Bond funds and the Institutional Funds budget of the Chicago campus. (Pursuant to the provisions of Public Act 87-673 (Architectural, Engineering, and Land Surveying Qualifications-Based Selection Act), the procurement of professional services for this project can be exempted from public notice and the architectural/engineering selection process because of the previous experience of Savage Engineering, Inc., on this project. It is considered to be in the best interest of the State that the firm be employed for the project.)

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

Recision of Recommendation; and Employment of Architect/Engineer, Science and Engineering Laboratory Building, Remodeling for Molecular Biology, Chicago

(33) On October 5, 1989, the Board of Trustees approved a request to the Capital Development Board to employ John Victor Frega Associates, Ltd., Chicago, for the professional services required for a remodeling project at an estimated project cost of $150,000, in the Science and Engineering Laboratory Building. Further, on October 11, 1990, the Board of Trustees approved a request to the Capital Development Board to employ Nagle, Hartray & Associates, Ltd., Chicago, for the professional services required to remodel a molecular biology laboratory at an estimated project cost of $300,000, in the Science and Engineering Laboratory Building. Inasmuch as these projects have not been initiated, it is now more cost effective to combine the two projects and employ only the firm of Nagle, Hartray & Associates, Ltd. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the recision of the board's action of October 5, 1989, concerning the employment of the firm as described above; and further recommends that the Capital Development Board be requested to employ the firm of Nagle, Hartray & Associates, Ltd., for the combined project in the Science and Engineering Laboratory Building. The fee for the firm will be negotiated by the Capital Development Board in accordance with its procedures. Funds are available from the Build Illinois Bond fund. (Pursuant to the provisions of Public Act 87-673 (Architectural, Engineering, and Land Surveying Qualifications-Based Selection Act), the procurement of professional services for this project can be exempted from public notice and the architectural/engineering selection process because it is considered to be in the best interest of the State that one firm be employed for the combined project.)
