BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[January 20

Employment of Construction Manager, Remodeling of Police/Transportation Facility, Chicago

(17) The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the employment of Schal Bovis, Inc./Globetrotters,1 Chicago, for the professional construction management services required for remodeling a Police/Transportation Facility at the Chicago campus. The firm's fee for the professional services required through construction will be a fixed fee of $225,000, including reimbursable expenses. The $7.7 million project consists of remodeling the existing Maxwell Street Police Station to accommodate approximately 13,800 nasf in order to meet the programmatic needs of the University Police and the construction of an 18,575 nasf auxiliary transportation/motor pool facility. Also included will be a historic exhibit area. Site development for this facility would include provision for car/truck/service vehicle parking and fuel dispensing. Funds are available from State capital bond funds appropriated to the University.

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

Lease of Space for Temporary Federal Aviation Administration Building, University of Illinois-Willard Airport, Urbana

(18) Currently, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) staff at the University of Illinois-Willard Airport have inadequate space. The FAA is required to build a new air traffic control tower at Willard Airport. Based on current information, it is highly probable that the new tower will be constructed within the next six years. As an interim solution to the space problem, the FAA has requested that they be allowed to provide a temporary building to augment the existing available space. The structure will be 10 feet x 50 feet, will require power and plumbing, and will be sited immediately north of the current tower. The FAA will purchase the building and will provide funds for installation of the building. Upon approval of the proposal by the Board of Trustees, the FAA will negotiate with the University a fair market rate for lease of the land and will remove the building and restore the site when the new control tower is completed. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the site be approved and the current contract with the FAA be amended to reflect the appropriate leasing arrangements.

On motion of Ms. Reese, these recommendations were approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Engelbrecht, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Mrs. O'Malley, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Dr. Bacon, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Didato-Castillo, Mr. Rose; no, none.)

This firm is a minority-owned business enterprise.
