Employment of Architect/Engineer, Addition to Memorial Stadium, Urbana

(13) The Athletic Association has requested the Board of Trustees to construct a football facilities addition to Memorial Stadium. It consists of a weight-training room, additional training-room facilities, meeting rooms, equipment distribution and storage areas, and office and conference room space for the football coaches' staff, and will contain 18,000 gross square feet. The total project is estimated to cost $2.2 million. On October 6, 1984, the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association authorized an allocation of $220,000 for the cost of professional architectural and engineering services through the receipt of bids for the addition. The source of this allocation is from private gift funds held by the University for the benefit of the Athletic Association. The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the allocation of $220,000 be confirmed by the Board of Trustees; the football facilities addition project be approved; and that the firm of Severns, Rishling & Associates, Inc., Champaign, be employed by the Board of Trustees for the professional architectural and engineering services required for the project through the receipt of bids. The firm's fee will be based upon 7.4 percent of the actual construction cost, which is now estimated to be $1,750,000, plus an estimated $28,000 for reimbursable expenses authorized by the University. Following the receipt of satisfactory bids, a recommendation will be submitted to the board to request the Athletic Association to make available the balance of the funds required for the project; to award construction contracts; and to employ the firm for the necessary architectural/engineering services during the construction phase of the project.
