Microelectronics Center, Urbana (Contract with Capital Development Board)

(13) T h e 83rd and 84th General Assemblies appropriated a total of $13.7 million for the Microelectronics Center at the Urbana campus. In May 1987, bids were received by the Capital Development Board and contracts were awarded. The funds available to finance the construction, however, were not sufficient to permit the award of certain alternate bid items that the College of Engineering considered important for the project, i.e., upgrading the cleanliness standard of the process labs and the crystal growth labs and completion of die diird floor of Building B. T h e College of Engineering now has identified sufficient funds to enable the upgrading of the laboratories to the level desired. (Sources of funds to complete the third floor are under review.) 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 $500,000 for the project. Funds are available from the Fiscal Year 1988 institutional funds budget of the College of Engineering.

(The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Evenson, Mr. Wylie; no, none.)

Increase in Contract, Busey-Evans Remodeling and Addition, Urbana

(14) On October 9, 1986, the Board of Trustees authorized the award of a contract for $4,615,432 to J. P. Cullen & Sons, Inc., Janesville, Wisconsin, for the general work for the Busey-Evans Residence Halls remodeling and addition project, Urbana. When the project was bid, an alternate was taken to install carpet in the student rooms in lieu of composition tile. T h e alternate of $88,500 was not accepted. Subsequently, 5,210 yards of carpet compatible with the student room colors and corridor carpets in both Busey and Evans has been located. It can be purchased and installed at a cost of $36,216. Accordingly, the president of the University recommends that the contract with J. P. Cullen & Sons, Inc., be increased by $36,216 for the work described. Funds are available from the Auxiliary Facilities System Repair and Replacement Reserve Fund, the proceeds of the Series 1985 Auxiliary Facilities Revenue Bond issue, and the restricted funds operating budget of the Urbana campus Housing Division.

On motion of Mrs. Gravenhorst, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Galder, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Logan, Mrs. Shepherd, Miss Smith, Mr. Wolff; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson.
