Total $2 850 605 On June 21, 1984, the Board of Trustees employed the firm of Booth/Hansen and Associates, Chicago, for architectural and engineering services, through the completion of construction, for contract administration and approximately one site visit per month. It is now recommended that the agreement be amended to include on-site observation of approximately three days per week on an hourly basis at a cost not to exceed $43,000, plus authorized reimbursements which are estimated to be $7,500. The addition will be located north and east of the museum and will contain approximately 20,000 gross square feet on three levels, providing gallery space, a print gallery and storage, and administrative offices. The project also includes some remodeling within the existing auditorium and administrative office area. The project will be financed primarily from designated gifts and grants available through the University of Illinois Foundation, the major portion being provided by William S. Kinkead Trust and Estate. The remainder will come from the instituional funds budget of the Urbana-Champaign campus and from accrued interest earnings from the gifts in hand. A schedule of the bids received and a schedule of the firm's hourly rates have been filed with the secretary of the board for record.

Contract, Sponsored Research Incubator Building, Urbana

(13) The College of Agriculture has been awarded a grant by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs to establish an "incubator" program to foster research and development in the advanced technology and service sector. In order to provide a facility for the program, a building would be constructed on University land immediately west of the new Plant Pathology Building. The total project, to be constructed in two phases, is estimated to cost $650,000. The first phase would involve site preparation and construction of a 70* x 160' metal-pole building at a cost of $80,000. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends award of a contract for $64,247 to Mini FS Inc., Urbana, the low base bidder, for the construction of the pole building.
