increase in Contract, McKinley Health Center Renovation, Urbana

(21) On June 12, 1986, the Board of Trustees authorized the award of contracts for the renovation of McKinley Health Center, Urbana campus. The installation of a dumbwaiter was originally bid as an alternate for the project but was eliminated at the time of contract award due to budget limitations. It is still necessary for the dumbwaiter to be installed for the transport of medical records involving mental health, gynecology clinic, preventive medicine, and walk-in patients' records. Its location in the medical record area will result in more efficient patient care. Funds for the installation have been included in the Auxiliary Facilities System R & R program for Fiscal Year 1988. The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the contract with Felmley-Dickerson Company, Urbana, be increased by $28,328 for the additional work described. Funds are available from the Auxiliary Facilities System Repair and Replacement Reserve Fund for FY 1988.

On motion of Miss Smith, 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. Evenson, Mr. Wylie; no, none.)

Increase in Contracts, Ice Arena Renovation, Urbana (Report of Action by the President)

(22) On November 13, 1986, the Board of Trustees authorized contracts for $972,600 to Felmley-Dickerson Company, Urbana, for the general work and $104,855 to G. A. Rich & Sons, Inc., Deer Creek, for the plumbing and sprinkler work for renovation of the Ice Arena at the Urbana campus. During the design phase, there was concern over the condition of the arena's roof. Contract documents indicated that two general areas were to be replaced (3,000 square feet); and the entire roof to be coated with water repellent (23,000 square feet). This selective repair was completed by the general contractor earlier this year, and the roof repairs appeared to provide a watertight envelope. However, significant roof leaks have spoiled new acoustical ceiling tile in several areas of the arena during heavy rains in early August. Subsequent investigation of the roof has revealed previously undetected cracks in the roof membrane. Selective patching would seal the roof, but with no guarantee that new cracks would not develop at any time. Accordingly, a new, single-ply membrane roof, applied over the 23,000 square feet of roof insulation, is now required. In order to protect newly installed finishes and materials from additional damage, it was necessary to increase Felmley-Dickerson's contract by $33,745 so that work could begin immediately.
