1992] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 95 extended to include the Circle Court property, which is bounded by the Congress Parkway (north), Harrison Street (south), Racine Avenue (east), and Throop Street (west). The recommended change is consistent with the general principles of the campus master plan that was adopted in May of 1990. The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the proposed addendum to the UIC master plan as a general guideline for the long-term growth and development of the Chicago campus be approved. A copy of the master plan addendum has been filed with the secretary of the board for record. On motion of Mrs. Shepherd, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Downey, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Reese, Mrs. Shepherd; no, none; absent, Dr. Bacon, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Begovich, Mr. Lawless; no, none.) Increase in Contract, Law Building Addition and Remodeling, Urbana (15) On July 9, 1992, the board confirmed the president's approval of a contract to River City Construction Company, Peoria, for the general construction work for the Law Building addition and remodeling project at the Urbana campus. During the excavation for the north and south additions to the building, concealed conditions, including existing footings and unsuitable bearing capacity under the interior footings, were encountered. The project engineer recommended overexcavation to an acceptable subgrade and backfill of lean concrete. 1 In accordance with the provisions of the contract documents work was authorized on a time-and-material basis. The contractor has reported that the total cost for the additional work is $106,768. The project architect and construction manager have approved the cost of the additional work. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the contract with River City Construction Company be increased by $106,768 for the work described. Because the construction contract contingency fund is sufficient to cover this amount, no change in the project budget authorization is required. Funds are available from private gift funds through the University of Illinois Foundation, from funds appropriated by the State of Illinois, and from Institutional Funds of the Urbana campus. On motion of Mrs. Shepherd, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Downey, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Reese, Mrs. Shepherd; no, none; absent, Dr. Bacon, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Begovich, Mr. Lawless; no, none.) Purchases (16) The president submitted, with his concurrence, a list of purchases recommended by the directors of purchases and the vice president for business and finance; also purchases authorized by the president. The purchases were presented in two categories: purchases from appropriated Concrete with a 2,000 pound per square inch load-bearing factor.
