BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[May 14

award the contracts for construction and employ the firm for the professional services required during the construction phase. Bids were received by the Capital Development Board on April 16 and May 1, 1987. The total of the low base bids received is within the funds available to the CDB for the construction and the employment of the architect/engineer during the construction phase, but does not allow for a project contingency. The total project cost will be $2,220,000, or $100,000 higher than reported to the board in June 1986. The increased cost is attributed to a provision for fire protection not contemplated in the original program and to enhancement of the building's exterior and site development plan. The Capital Development Board Act provides that the CDB and the University may contract with each other and other parties as to the design and construction of any project to be constructed on University property. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the University contract with the Capital Development Board to provide up to $100,000 for the project to provide for the contingency. Funds are available in the appropriated funds budget of the Operation and Maintenance Division of the Urbana campus. Funds for the construction of the project are available in the University's capital budget.

Employment of Architects and Engineers, Capital Development Board Projects, Urbana

(29) The 84th General Assembly appropriated $7,834,000 for certain renovation and repair projects for the University of Illinois to be funded through the "Build Illinois" program. The University has allocated $3,284,900 for projects at the Chicago campus and $4,549,100 for Urbana. On November 13, 1986, the Board of Trustees approved the selection of architectural and engineering firms for 27 of the 34 projects included in the Fiscal Year 1987 Build Illinois remodeling program. At that time, final determination of architects and engineers for the remaining projects was not complete. The firms have now been selected for six of the remaining projects.1 Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board of Trustees request the Capital Development Board to employ architects and engineers for capital projects for FY 1987 as listed below. The professional fee for each firm employed will be negotiated by the Capital Development Board in accord with its procedures.
