584 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [June 11 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, Architecture and Art Laboratory Building, Studio Remodeling, Chicago (34) On February 8, 1990, the Board of Trustees approved a request to the Capital Development Board to employ the firm of A. M. Kinney Associates, Inc., Chicago, for the professional services required for a studio remodeling project at an estimated project cost of $150,000, in the Architecture and Art Laboratory Building. Further, on October 11, 1990, the Board of Trustees approved a request to the Capital Development Board to employ O'Neal Designers, Inc., Des Plaines, for the professional services required for a studio remodeling project at an estimated project cost of $162,000, in the Architecture and Art Laboratory Building in Chicago. Work has not been initiated on these projects, due to the governor's spending control program. The University now believes it to be more cost effective to combine the two projects and employ only the firm of A. M. Kinney Associates, Inc. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the recision of the board's action on October 11, 1990, concerning the employment of the firm as described; and further recommends that the Capital Development Board be requested to employ the firm of A. M. Kinney Associates, Inc., for the combined project. 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. (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.) 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.) Lease of Property at Gregory Place, Urbana (35) The University has been negotiating for several years to acquire three properties at Gregory Place in the city of Urbana. The property is within the Campus' Master Plan boundaries designated for academic and other related functions. The Foundation has agreed to acquire these properties for use by the University provided the total acquisition cost would not exceed $282,000. The University intends to acquire these properties from the Foundation when funds for their acquisition become available. The University received appraisals of the properties located at 703 and 705 S. Gregory Place of $90,000 and $85,000, respectively. The owners had received
