Employment of Architect/Engineer, Roger Adams Laboratory, Urbana

(27) The Department of Chemical Engineering proposes to update its building space in Roger Adams Laboratory to serve as an advanced technology facility for modern chemical engineering education. The initial project is the first two phases of a proposed ten-phase project to update the Department of Chemical Engineering space at Roger Adams Laboratory. The proposed $1.0 million project includes planning, construction, and utilities. In order to proceed with the project, it is necessary to employ an architectural and engineering firm to provide the required professional services. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the firm of BLDD Architects, Decatur, be employed for the professional services required through the bidding phase of the project. The firm's fee for the program verification phase of all ten phases will be on an hourly basis, the total not to exceed $31,000. The firm's fee for the schematic design through bidding phases of this project (phases I and II) will be a fixed fee of $71,280 plus authorized reimbursements estimated to be $8,000. Gift funds are available through the University of Illinois Foundation. A schedule of the firm's hourly rates has been filed with the secretary of the board for record.

On motion of Mr. Boyle, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Downey, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Governor Edgar, Mrs. Shepherd.
