(21) The chancellor at Chicago recommends the employment of Yetgen and Associates, Oak Park, for the professional design services for various site improvement projects at the Chicago campus. The selection of the landscape architect for this project was in accordance with the requirements and provisions of Public Act 87673 (Architectural, Engineering, and Land Surveying Qualifications-Based Selection Act). The Chicago campus has implemented a number of minor site improvement, landscaping, and paving projects to improve the appearance and attractiveness of its campus. Additional design services and construction document preparation are now required to implement key site improvement projects at the Richard J. Daley Library, the College of Medicine, the Neuropsychiatric Institute, and campus parking lots. The firm's fee will not exceed $65,000 plus authorized reimbursable expenses which are estimated to be $10,000. Funds are available in the Institutional Funds Operating Budget of the Physical Plant Department. The vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval.

Project Approval and Employment of Architect/Engineer for the Biomedical Magnetic Resonance Laboratory, Urbana

(22) The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate University officers, recommends: (1) the approval of a project to construct a Biomedical Magnetic Resonance Laboratory at the Urbana campus; and (2) the employment of Ralph Hahn & Associates, Springfield, for the professional services required for the project. The selection of the architect/engineer for this project was in accordance with the requirements and provisions of Public Act 87-673 (Architectural, Engineering, and Land Surveying Qualifications-Based Selection Act). Currently, the Biomedical Magnetic Resonance Laboratory is housed in two locations (1307 West Park, Urbana, and in the Beckman Institute). Since the lease for the Park Street facility expires in 1998, it has been determined that this portion of the program will be relocated to a new 15,520 gsf facility south of the Large Animal Clinic. The $2,260,000 project will be for the construction of space for the relocated Park Street program and recently acquired 2T whole body magnet. In addition, the project will include space for the Agriculture Magnetic Resonance Laboratory program. The firm's fee through the warranty phase of the project will be a fixed fee of $114,344; for construction on-site observation, on an hourly basis, the total not to exceed $35,000; and reimbursable expenses which are estimated to be $9,300.
