798 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [September 23 Chief Mechanical Engineer $5-00 to $6.00 per hour Senior Engineering Draftsman $3.00 to $3.50 per hour b. Plus 100 per cent of the cost charged to a project as reflected in ( a ) for architect's fees, office expense, local transportation, materials, etc., normally classified as overhead. c. Actual cost of blueprinting. Funds in the amount of $225,000 are available in the state appropriation for I 955~57 "For rehabilitation and remodeling of and minor additions to existing buildings at Urbana-Champaign and at the Chicago Professional Colleges, with fixed equipment installed, including plans and specifications, and all other necessary costs and charges incident to the completion of the work." It is not known how much additional money will be available for remodeling, but a contract with Pace Associates under the terms recommended would be flexible and their services would be utilized to the extent needed, and as determined by availability of funds. It is estimated that if sufficient funds were available for all of these remodeling projects the total cost of architectural services would not exceed $48,800, or approximately 6 per cent of the estimated cost of the remodeling work to be contracted. I recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute a contract with Pace Associates in accordance with the terms specified, with the further provision that no work shall be done under such a contract except upon written authorization by the University. On motion of Mr. Nickell, this contract was authorized as recommended and the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board were authorized to execute the same.
