Authority to Approve "General Condition Items," Beckman Institute, Urbana (19) Turner Construction Company of Chicago was employed as construction manager for the Beckman Institute under authority of the board in November 1985. The construction manager provides services to the owner and the architect from the beginning of design through completion of construction, but does not undertake the actual construction work with its own. staff nor does it contract for such work. As there is no general contractor for this project, the responsibility for providing "general condition items" (such as tools and supplies, temporary roads, water, weather protection, temporary light and power, material and personnel hoists, site plumbing, dirt chutes, pumping, general protection, etc.) is not included in any of the construction contracts. Turner Construction Company has agreed to arrange for the contractors to provide these items as needed. The total cost of the items has been budgeted at $1 million for the duration of the construction period, i.e., until December 1988. The cost of some of the items is expected to exceed the delegated authority limit of $25,000. In order not to delay the project, it is important that authority to approve such items be delegated to the comptroller. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the comptroller be authorized to approve contract change orders to the appropriate contractors to provide for general condition items of work within the budgeted $1 million total.
