BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[November 9

the warranty phase of the parking structure repair project at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts at the Urbana campus. It is now recommended that major drainage improvements around the parking structure be included in the project scope. These improvements were identified after the project began and are necessary to eliminate flooding of the lower parking areas from heavy rains. The estimated cost of the improvements is $750,000. The cost of additional consulting services to include these improvements is $63,600. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the contract with Construction Technology Laboratories, Inc., be increased by $63,600 for the professional consulting services required for the additional improvements. Funds are available from the Auxiliary Facilities System Repair and Replacement Fund with the possibility of reimbursement from a subsequent revenue bond sale.

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

Increase in Project Budget for Basement Remodeling, Gregory Drive Residence Halls, Urbana

(20) The $1.0 million project will remodel approximately 14,000 gsf in the basement of the Gregory Drive Residence Halls Food Service Building to include a computer room, library, exercise room, music practice room, conference room, study area, and vending space. On March 9, 1995, the board approved the employment of the project architect/ engineer, BLDD Architects, Inc., Champaign. Subsequently, as a result of a better definition of the program requirements, some additions to the scope of the project, and additional architectural and engineering fees required to support the additional costs, the Housing Division has made additional funds available to the project. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the project budget for the basement remodeling in the Gregory Drive Residence Halls Food Service Building be increased by $200,000 from $1.0 million to $1.2 million. Funds are available from the Housing Division's Building Reserve Fund.

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