(28) T h e 85th General Assembly appropriated $88,354 in Capital Development Bond funds and the University has been awarded a grant of $104,284 from the U.S. Department of Energy for energy conservation improvements at the Civil Engineering Building, Urbana campus. T h e project includes extension of highpressure steam, condensate-return, and chilled-water lines from mains being installed under the north campus utilities and chiller plant project. Also included will be necessary modifications within the building. T h e project was developed as a result of the proximity of the lines to the north campus project. In order to complete the project within the Federal guidelines and to reduce disruption of construction, it is recommended that the same engineer that designed t h e north campus project be employed. 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 Sargent and Lundy Engineers, Chicago, for the professional services required. T h e professional fee will be negotiated by the Capital Development Board in accord with its procedures. O n m o t i o n of M r s .
