Increase in Contract for Drainage Improvements, Parking Structure, Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, Urbana

(13) On May 11, 1995, the board approved a recommendation to delegate authority to the comptroller to award a construction contract for the parking structure repairs at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts at the Urbana campus. On June 8, 1995, the contract award to River City Construction Co., Peoria, for $3,438,000 was reported to the board. Major drainage improvements around the parking structure were included in the project scope. The need for other improvements was identified after the project began. These are important for the elimination of flooding in the lower parking areas during heavy rains. The estimated cost of the improvements is $750,000. Due to the schedule of the ongoing work (the south half of the parking facility is under construction), it is necessary that the drainage work be installed in two phases. The work includes the addition of storm sewer and interior storm piping around the perimeter of the entire Krannert facility, the replacement and change in elevation of all entrance ramps to the parking garage, and the installation of new storm sump pumps at each ramp location. Phase One activity is for the south side of Krannert and Phase Two is for the remaining three sides. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate University officers, recommends the contract with River City Construction Co., Peoria, be increased by $240,000 to cover the first phase of the drainage improvements. Funds are available from the Auxiliary Facilities System Repair and Replacement Fund and the proceeds of the Series 1996 Revenue Bond issue.

On motion of Dr. Gindorf, 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.

1 Alternate G-l: Assignment of other division contracts to the contractor for general work. Alternate G-2: Provide for leveling of a portion of the existing sloped floor with concrete fill and topping.
