BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[November 18

undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in University of Illinois teacher training curricula who are in District 214 to complete student teaching and other professional education requirements. This program is referred to as the Cooperative Teacher Education Program (CTEP). Because of increasing enrollments in student teaching, placements in local area schools are becoming more difficult. District 214 is an ideal site for student teaching placements for the following reasons: (a) it has a large, diverse enrollment in secondary curricula, with six high schools; (b) many teacher education students at UIUC come from urban areas similar to District 214 and plan to return to these areas as professional teachers; (c) it has an experienced, qualified staff who will provide excellent guidance to those students; and (d) the College of Education and District 214 have had a long-standing professional relationship — a number of UIUC student teachers have been placed in the CTEP program over a period of twenty years. The proposed contract will be effective for the 1994-95 academic year at a cost of $80,740. Funds are available from the State appropriated operating budget of the College of Education. The vice president for academic affairs concurs. I recommend approval.

On motion of Ms. Reese, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Governor Edgar, Mr. Grabowski. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Didato-Castillo, Mr. Rose.)

Contract for Development, Campus Recreation Playfields, Urbana

(15) The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the award of a contract for $703,500 to Williams Brothers Construction, Inc., Peoria, the lowest responsible bidder, on the basis of its base bid ($636,000) plus alternates L-2 and L-3 ($25,000 and $42,500, respectively) for the site work for the Campus Recreation Playfields at the Urbana campus. The $2.2 million project consists of developing playfields at two locations. The first is on the west side of campus bounded by Oak Street, First Street, Gregory Drive, and a line extending west from Peabody Drive. This area is to be developed into athletic fields including intramural football fields, soccer fields, basketball courts, sand volleyball fields, and a roller blade hockey court. Fields will be fenced, lighted, and irrigated. The site is also to include a service and storage facility. The second location is on the southwest corner of Lincoln and Florida Avenues. The site will contain a fenced soccer field. Funds are available from the proceeds of the Auxiliary Facilities System, Series 1993 Revenue Bond issue. A schedule of the bids received and a description of the alternates have been filed with the secretary of the board for record. (Note: Bids were also received for Division I — General, Architectural, and Structural; Division II — Plumbing/Fire Protection; Division III — Heating, Piping, Refrigeration, and Temperature Control; Division IV — Ventilation and Air Distribution; and Division V — Electrical, including site lighting. The bids received for these divisions of work exceeded the architect's estimates; and the architect has recommended that Divisions I through V be rebid. The Office for Capital Programs and university counsel concur. This delay will not affect the project schedule.)

On motion of Ms. Reese, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mr. Boyle, Mrs. Calder, Dr. Gindorf,
