Increase in Comptroller's Authority, Site W o r k , Terminal Complex, W i l l a r d Airport (20) O n September 10, 1987, the Board of Trustees approved a request to the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Aeronautics, for the award of a contract for $785,694 to University Asphalt Co., Urbana, for grading, drainage, and utilities work for the terminal complex at Willard Airport. The board also authorized the comptroller to approve increases in the contract, provided the total increase does not exceed five percent of the construction contract awarded. It is necessary that certain additional site work items be completed at this time: (1) regular change-order work, including underground utilities, is estimated to be $32,600; (2) electrical work previously contemplated for Phase II now necessary to accommodate terminal building work, is estimated at $81,000; and finally, (3) design improvements to the underground electrical structures are estimated at $11,800. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board of Trustees authorize the comptroller to approve increases as described above, the total estimated at $125,400. The project is being financed from Federal, State, and local funds and administered by the Department of Transportation in accord with the provisions of the Agency and Participation Agreement. O n motion of Miss Smith, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Calder, M r . Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. H a h n , Mr. Howard, M r .

The firm now has asked that it not be considered for the project and, accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the board action of October 15, 1987, be rescinded. It is further recommended that the Capital Development Board now be requested to employ Henneman, Raufeisen and Associates, Inc., Champaign, for the required services. The fee will be negotiated by the Capital Development Board in accordance with its procedures. The 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 this project.
