Contract for Replacing the Entrance Plaza Paving for the Pavilion and Improving the Arthington Mall for the Chicago lllini Union, Chicago

(17) The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the award of a contract for $344,862 to G. F. Structures Corporation, Chicago, the lowest responsible bidder, on the basis of its base bid ($363,742) plus acceptance of deductive alternates #3, #6, #14, and #16 ($18,880). The project consists of two portions of work; namely, replacement of paving at the Pavilion and improvements to the Arthington Mall at the Chicago lllini Union. The original concrete paving at the main entrance of the Pavilion building was installed when the building was constructed in 1981 and has deteriorated from weathering and pedestrian traffic. Similarly, the pedestrian and vehicular paving that is located immediately south of the main entrance of the Chicago lllini Union building has also deteriorated. Both portions of this project will require demolition of the existing paving, regrading of the site, installation of a new storm drainage system, new site lighting, new paving for sidewalks and service driveways, and new landscaping.
