Increase in Contract, Beckman Institute, Urbana

(24) On April 19, 1987, the Board of Trustees authorized a contract for $2,865,801 to Hatfield Electric Company, Rosemont, for the electrical work for the Beckman Institute at the Urbana campus. The Beckman Institute will be a computer-intensive environment. Therefore, it is essential that high-speed electronic networking be available at all points in the building, including public spaces where computer-based demonstrations and exhibits might be located. The changes proposed ensure that the capacity of networking is extended to several such places. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the contract with Hatfield Electric Company, Rosemont, be increased by $34,230 for the work described. The additional funds are available within the construction contract contingency allocation which was reviewed with the board on April 10, 1987. Funds are provided from private gift funds through the University of Illinois Foundation and from funds appropriated by the State of Illinois. O n m o t i o n of M r s .
