Employment of Architect/Engineer, Passenger Terminal Complex, Willard Airport

(24) On April 10, 1986, the Board of Trustees approved an Initial Agency and Participation Agreement and the submission of an application for Federal support of a new passenger terminal complex at Willard Airport. The project is to be financed from Federal, State, and local funds and contractually administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Aeronautics. On September 10, 1986, the board approved a request to the Department of Transportation for: (1) employment of a professional consultant to develop the program requirements and concept for the terminal facility complex; and (2) employment of an engineering firm to provide the services required for the planning and construction of apron, connecting taxiways, access roads, parking lots, and site utilities. It was contemplated that an architectural/engineering firm would be employed following the completion of the program phase. The program requirements and conceptual development for the complex are nearly complete. In accord with the Division of Aeronautics' proposed schedule, it will be necessary for the University to request the Department of Transportation to employ an architect/engineer for planning and construction as soon as possible. The selection process will not be completed until mid-November 1986. Accordingly, the president recommends that the comptroller be authorized to request the Department of Transportation to employ the firm selected for the professional services required for the Airline Passenger Tenninal Complex, Willard Airport. A report of the firms interviewed and firm selected will be presented to the Buildings and Grounds Committee in January 1987. O n m o t i o n of M r .
