UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

255

These changes have been reviewed and recommended by the University Planning Council, the chancellor at Urbana, and the vice president for academic affairs. I recommend approval.

On motion of Ms. Lopez, these recommendations were approved. By consensus, the board agreed that one roll call vote would be taken and considered the vote on each agenda item nos. 14 through 29 inclusive. The recommendations were individually discussed but acted upon at one time. (The record of board action appears at the end of each item.)

Contract Amendment for MANG Services, University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics, Chicago

(14) The chancellor at Chicago recommends the approval of an amendment to increase the payments to Great Lakes Medicaid, Inc., Chicago, for services associated with the filing of Mediciad applications. At the June 10, 1994, board meeting, a contract was approved to allow payment for the professional services of Great Lakes Medicaid for filing and qualifying patients for Medical Assistance No Grant (MANG) applications provided in Fiscal Year 1994, but not paid until FY 1995, by the Illinois Department of Public Aid (IDPA). The approved contract was limited to $350,000 and resulted from an estimate of approximately $1,750,000 in paid claims to the hospital. However, due to the large backlog of claims with IDPA, payments in the amount of $2,125,000 are expected to be received as a result of Great Lakes Medicaid's efforts. It is necessary, therefore, to increase the contract with Great Lakes Medicaid by $75,000 to a total of $425,000. The contract expiration date of June 30, 1995, remains unchanged. Funds are available in the Hospital Income Fund. The vice president for business and finance recommends approval. I concur.

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

Contract for Roof Replacement, Richard J. Daley Library, Chicago

(15) The president, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the award of a contract for $525,402 to FJ.A. Christiansen Roofing Corp., Carol Stream, the lowest responsible bidder, on its base bid for the roof replacement on the Richard J. Daley Library. The project consists of removing the existing roofing system to deck, repairing concrete deck, and installing a vapor retarding insulation and membrane roof system, with a polyvinyl chloride walkway. Funds are available in the Institutional Funds Operating Budget of the Chicago Physical Plant. A schedule of the bids received and a description of the alternate have been filed with the secretary of the board for record.

On motion of Mrs. Calder, this recommendation was approved by
