Increase in Contract, Krannert Art M u s e u m Addition, U r b a n a (20) On October 9, 1986, the Board of Trustees authorized the award of a contract for $1,784,800 to English Brothers Company, Champaign, for the general work for the Krannert Art Museum Addition at the Urbana campus. During the excavation, the contractor encountered unstable soil material at the elevation of the footings in the western portion of the site. The condition was noted in an investigation by the geotechnical consultant during the design stage. During excavation, the project engineer recommended removal of the material and its replacement with aggregate. The contractor now has completed the additional excavation and backfill and has reported the cost of the additional work in the total amount of $32,231. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropnate administrative officers, recommends that the contract with English Brothers be increased by $32,231 for the additional work described. Funds are available from designated gifts and grants available through the University of Illinois Foundation, the major portion being provided by the William S. Kinkead Trust and Estate.

On motion of Mr. Hahn, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mrs. Shepherd, Miss Smith, Mr. Wolff; no, none; absent, Mr. Logan, Governor Thompson. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Filip, Mr. Starkeson; no, none.)

Lease of Space, Chicago (21) The chancellor at Chicago has recommended that the University contract with 322 South Green Street Partners, an Illinois limited partnership and owner of the Green Street Building, 322 South Green Street, Chicago, to lease 7,700 square feet of space for the period July 1, 1987 (or sooner, if available), through June 30, 1992. The space will provide offices for research and service units of the College of Business Administration (CBA), the Campus Cooperative Education Program (CCE), and the Latin American Recruitment and Educational Service Program (LARES). The lease will be at a base rate of $94,325 per year, a unit cost of $12.25 per square foot, subject to an annual increase of $.50 cents per square foot per year. The cost includes all operating expenses, janitorial services, and all utilities except electrical services. The lessor will remodel to the requirements of the University, to the standards of the lessor, and at the expense of the lessor. The University will have the option to cancel the lease at the end of each annual renewal period. The CBA and LARES programs now occupy University space on a temporary basis, inadequate for present needs. The Campus Cooperative Education Program is a new initiative without space. A search of campus space has failed to identify any suitable options for the foreseeable future.
