Employment of Engineer, Track Stadium, Urbana

(23) The Athletic Association has requested the Board of Trustees to construct a track stadium on the Urbana-Champaign campus. The facility consists of a 400meter, eight-lane running track; field event areas; permanent seating for 2,000 (with expansion in portable bleachers to 10,000); press box; lighting; fencing; site and landscape work. The total project is estimated to cost $1,290,000. The Board of Directors of the Athletic Association on October 6, 1984, authorized an allocation of $120,000 for the cost of the professional engineering services through the receipt of bids for the project. 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 track stadium project be approved; the allocation of $120,000 be confirmed by the Board of Trustees; and subject to the receipt of funds from the Athletic Association, the firm of Daily & Associates, Engineers, Inc., Champaign be employed for the professional engineering services required. The firm's fee for the professional services required through the receipt of bids for the track and field facilities (excluding stadium seating) will be on the basis of a lump sum of $49,800 plus authorized reimbursements. The firm's fee for the preliminary design of the track stadium (seating) facility will be on the basis of a lump-sum fee of $3,000 plus reimbursements 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 authorize the engineering services during the construction phase of the project.

On motion of Mr. Stone, these recommendations were approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Dr. Donoghue, Mr. Forsyth, Mr.
