The fee has been negotiated in accord with the department's standard procedures, which correspond to those of the University. Both the award of construction contracts and the employment of the architect are subject to the release of State funds. The project is being financed from Federal, State, and local funds and administered by the Department of Transportation in accord with the Agency and Participation Agreement between the University and the department.

Coordination of Management: Animal Sciences Laboratory and Biotechnology Laboratory, Urbana (Contract with Capital Development Board)

(28) "Build Illinois" program bond funds have been appropriated for planning and construction of an addition to the Animal Sciences Laboratory at the Urbana campus. Concurrently, Federal funds have been appropriated for a Plant and Animal Biotechnology Laboratory at Urbana. In previous actions, the Board of Trustees requested the employment of Phillips Swager & Associates, Peoria, by the Capital Development Board for the Animal Sciences Laboratory project; and employment of Smith, Hinchman & Gryllis, Associates, Inc., Detroit, Michigan, for the Plant and Animal Biotechnology Laboratory project. The south campus master plan recommends that the Biotechnology Laboratory be located adjacent to the existing Animal Sciences Laboratory building. In planning for the two projects, a coordinated effort has been made to eliminate the duplications common to both projects. As a result, the projects are dependent upon each other, e.g., the utility infrastructure for both is located in the Animal Sciences Laboratory and the animal facilities are in the Biotechnology Laboratory. Since the projects are functionally and operationally integrated and the construction site restricted, it is desirable that they be centrally managed, utilizing uniform contract documents. Therefore, it is recommended that a construction manager be employed to provide the management and related services needed for the control of quality, cost, and time.
