(16) T h e president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the award of a contract to R. Rudnick and Company, Wheeling, for $3,175,800 for the renovation of the six-level, 1,100-car Paulina Street Parking Structure, Chicago. T h e award is to the lowest responsible bidder on its base bid plus acceptance of the indicated alternate. T h e project consists of repairs to the reinforced concrete and post-tensioned steel. Funds are available from the proceeds of the Auxiliary Facilities System, Series 1991 Revenue Bond issue. A schedule of the bids received and a description of the alternate have been filed with the secretary of the board for record. (The repairs will consist of the removal of 3/4-inch of concrete from all levels (slab on grade not included) of the structure by hydro-demolition (high-pressure water). Deteriorated reinforcing steel will be removed and replaced with new epoxycoated reinforcing steel. All exposed post-tensioning steel will have all rust removed, be epoxy-coated, and greased. Broken post-tensioning steel will be removed and new steel installed and stressed to the appropriate pounds per square inch. A one-inch microsilica cementitious overlay will be placed over all areas where concrete has been removed. T h e microsilica additive makes the cement overlay extremely dense, thereby greatly reducing the ability for water and chloride penetration. T h e concrete columns and beams will be repaired in a similar manner.)
