i9S8] U N I V E R S I T Y OF I L L I N O I S IIO9 AIRPORT ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AND CONTROL TOWER (8) The Seventieth General Assembly of Illinois appropriated $160,000 to the Department of Aeronautics of Illinois for the construction of an administration building, control tower, and necessary utilities at the University of Illinois Airport. The total project is estimated to cost $336,000. The Federal Civil Aeronautics Administration will provide one-half of this on approval of an application from the University. The remaining $8,000, which is a contingency item in the estimates of the project cost and therefore may not be needed, can be provided from the Airport Revolving Account. The Director of the Institute of Aviation and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend that the Board authorize the filing o£ an application for the federal funds and the execution of an Agency and Participation Agreement with the Department of Aeronautics which will set forth the respective responsibilities of the University and the Department and which is necessary to comply with the state and federal laws to secure allocations of funds. The University will award the contracts and supervise the construction. The Director of Aeronautics will provide the $160,000 of state funds, will disburse the federal funds, and will have the responsibility for compliance with state and federal requirements and for general policy supervision. As reported to the Board of Trustees (minutes of October 29, 1957, page 948), the University is providing all architectural services. The Department of Aeronautics will reimburse the University for the actual architectural costs plus overhead not to exceed 60 per cent of costs. The Director of the Institute of Aviation and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend that the Secretary and the Comptroller of the Board be authorized to execute a project application to the Federal Civil Aeronautics Administration, an Agency and Participation Agreement with the Department of Aeronautics of the state of Illinois, and an agreement with the Department of Aeronautics for the architectural services. I concur. On motion of Mrs. Holt, these recommendations were approved, and the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board were authorized to execute the documents specified. This action was taken by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Bissell, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Nickell, Mr. Swain, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Herrick, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Stratton, Mrs. Watkins; Mr. Johnston voted "present." CONTRACT FOR REMODELING IN RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL HOSPITALS (9) The Director of the Physical Plant Department and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend award of a contract for $295,078 to Russell Alansfield, Chicago, Illinois, for the remodeling, including all phases of the general work and the mechanical trades, of the third and fourth floors of the general building of the Research and Educational Hospitals. The alterations will consist of rearrangement of partitions, installation of air conditioning, installation of laboratory furniture and X-ray equipment, improvements in lighting, and addition of the necessary utilities. Funds are not presently available for all of the remodeling planned, hence bids were taken on the minimum work desired plus alternates for additional alterations, the University reserving the right to accept or reject any or all. Submitted herewith are a schedule of all bids received and a memorandum explaining the alternates; copies are being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. It is recommended that the work covered by the base bid of $257,978 and two of the alternates, Nos. 1 and 5, in the amounts of $32,750 and $4,350 respectively, be contracted for at this time. Alternate 5 provides for alterations in a corridor which are necessary if any of the remodeling covered by alternate 1 is done. When additional funds become available, recommendations will be made for the award of a contract, or an increase in the contract now being recommended, for the work being omitted at this time. Russell Mansfield is the lowest bidder on the total project and on all phases of the work covered by this contract.
