the Veterinary Medicine complex can achieve economies in both the energy and maintenance budgets of the University. The existing steam system presently extends to a point near the Florida Avenue Residence Halls. Extending the system approximately one-half mile will take it directly to the Veterinary Medicine complex. With the completion of this extension, an operating cost avoidance of approximately $450,000 per year is anticipated. The proposed project, including fees and contingencies, is estimated not to exceed $1.76 million. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that (1) the project scope as described and project budget, including fees and contingencies, be approved at a not-to-exceed figure of $1.76 million; and (2) the firm of Henneman, Raufeisen and Associates, Inc., Champaign, be employed for the project. The firm's fee for the design, contract documents, bidding, and construction administration phases will be a fixed fee of $113,260. The firm's fee for construction on-site observation will be on an hourly basis, not to exceed $35,000, plus reimbursables estimated to be $25,000. A schedule of the firm's hourly rates has been filed with the secretary of the board for record. Funds are available in the institutional funds budget of the Operation and Maintenance Division of the Urbana campus.

On motion of Ms. Reese, these recommendations were 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.)

The latter term designates funds received by the University under contracts with the United States government, private corporations, and other organizations; grants from foundations, corporations, and other donors; and University revolving funds authorized by law. The total amounts of these purchases were: From Appropriated Funds Recommended From Institutional Funds Recommended Grand Total $ 692 795 7 649 243 $ 8 342 038
