BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[December 12

Amendment to Architect and Engineer Agreements for Remodeling Work During FY 1980, Chicago Campuses

(15) O n June 20, 1979, the Board of Trustees authorized the employment of O'Donnell, Wicklund, Pigozzi Architects, Inc., Northbrook, for the architectural services and R. T. Williams & Associates, Westmont, for the engineering services required for miscellaneous remodeling, rehabilitation and alteration projects authorized at the Medical Center and Chicago Circle campuses during FY 1980. The cost of the services to be rendered on a cost-plus basis was estimated not to exceed $100,000 for each firm, including authorized reimbursements, based on the total projects' cost of $1,500,000. The estimate of total cost of all projects now contemplated is approximately $3,500,000 as a result of the addition of projects not included in the original program. (The additional projects are the renovation of the recently purchased Formfit building; and certain projects required by the occupancy of the University of Illinois Hospital which are not included in the work being completed by the Capital Development Board.) Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the agreements with O'Donnell, Wicklund, Pigozzi Architects, Inc., Northbrook, and R. T. Williams & Associates, Westmont, be amended to include the additional services required for the increased program upon the same fee basis. The total cost will not exceed $175,000 for each firm. Funds are made available for remodeling, rehabilitation, and alteration of existing buildings during the fiscal year to meet the needs of the campuses. Projects would be assigned to the firms by the University as professional services are required to satisfy campus programs and schedules. Funds as required will be covered by contract work orders which will be charged against funds allocated for each project.

Rescission of Recommendation; and Employment of Architect and Engineer, Meat Science Laboratory — Phase II, Urbana

(16) On November 15, 1979, the Board of Trustees acted to request the Capital Development Board to employ Clark Dietz Engineers, Inc., Urbana, for professional architertural/engineering services for the Meat Science Laboratory — Phase II at the Urbana-Champaign campus. Subsequent negotiations with the firm by the Capital Development Board staff have been unsuccessful in arriving at terms which are satisfactory to the Capital Development Board. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers recommends that the Board of Trustees' action of November 15, 1979, be rescinded. It is further recommended that the Capital Development Board now be requested to employ S. M. Altay and Associates, Urbana, for the required architectural/engineering services for this project. T h e fee will be negotiated by the Capital Development Board in accordance with its procedures. (The FY 1980 project budget is $1,026,000.) Funds for the employment of this firm have been appropriated to the Capital Development Board for FY 1980.
