BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[June 13

Library will also provide modern computer facilities for the college as well as a large meeting room and several small conference rooms. The proposed library is to be located southeast of Mumford Hall and due west of Turner Hall in accordance with the approved Campus Master Plan. Subject to approval and release by the governor, Build Illinois bond funds in the amount of $1,000,000 have been appropriated to the Capital Development Board for FY 1997 to begin planning for the new library. Consistent with the approach taken for other recent projects jointly funded with private gifts and State appropriations (Beckman Institute, Grainger Engineering Library, Temple Hoyne Buell Hall, and the College of Law Addition), it has been determined that the most effective way to achieve the desired results for the management of the project is for the Board of Trustees to undertake the responsibilities of the Capital Development Board (in accordance with Section 12 of the Capital Development Board Act) for planning and construction of the new Agriculture Library. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate University officers, recommends that the University seek approval of the Capital Development Board to undertake its responsibilities for the completion of the planning and construction of the Agriculture Library project.

Employment of Architect/Engineer for Roofing Systems, Chicago

(38) The chancellor at Chicago recommends the employment of Wiss, Janney, Elstner and Associates, Inc., Chicago, for the professional architectural/engineering services required for the investigation and development of recommended repair options for various buildings at the Chicago campus that have roofs requiring serious attention. 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). The architectural and engineering services required for this project are as follows: Phase One includes an identification of buildings with the most severe damage from water leakage and an overall assessment of each roofing system; Phase Two includes the investigation and testing necessary to determine the source of each leak and preparation of recommendations for short-term repairs; and Phase Three includes the development of construction documents and provision for construction administration. The estimated cost of the roof repairs is $1,910,408. The firm's fee is a fixed fee of $130,000, plus authorized reimbursable expenses, which are estimated to be $12,000. Funds are available in the Institutional Funds Operating Budget of the Physical Plant Department and Auxiliary Facilities System Repair and Replacement Fund. The vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval.

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.
