1986] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 89 Report of Contract Award and Increase in Project Budget, Swanlund Building Addition, Urbana (30) On July 10, 1986, the Board of Trustees authorized the comptroller to award construction contracts to the low bidders in each division for the construction of an addition to the Swanlund Administration Building at the Urbana campus if the bids did not exceed the funds available within the approved project budget of $1.85 million. On June 12, 1986, the board awarded a contract for $133,900 to Kurland Steel Company, Urbana, for structural steel fabrication and delivery. On July 31, 1986, the comptroller acted to award the following contracts: Division I — General English Brothers Company, Champaign . Base Bid . . . $1 125 800 Alt. G-l . . . 17 000 $1 142 800 Division II — Plumbing Dodson Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, Pontiac Division III — Heating Nogle & Black Mechanical, Inc., Champaign Base Bid . . . 80 559 Base Bid . . . 83 470 125 700 141 $1 574 133 $1 708 880 409 900 309 Division IV — Ventilation R. H. Bishop Company, Champaign . . . Base Bid . . . Division V — Electrical Berner Electric, Bloomington (Structural Steel Contract) Total Base Bid . . . Alt. G-l is for acceptance of assignment of all divisions to the general work contractor. A schedule of the bids received has been filed with the secretary of the board for record. As a result of the low bids received and contracts awarded, the approved project budget of $1.85 million does not provide funds for an adequate construction contingency. Nor does it allow for the completion of the interior portion of the sixth floor conference room/staff lounge and the installation of the required counters and cabinets in the workrooms of the new fourth and fifth floors. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the project budget be increased by $150,000 to provide a sufficient contingency and allow for the described work to be included in the current construction contract. Funds are being provided through the University of Illinois Foundation from a private gift provided by Mrs. Maybelle Swanlund.
