Contracts for Foundation Walls, Air-Supported Structure, Memorial Stadium, Urbana

(30) An air-supported structure 1 has been proposed to cover the playing surface in Memorial Stadium at the Urbana campus. The $1.5 million project would be included in the projects funded from the proceeds of a bond sale currently planned for July 1985. T h e project will require a perimeter foundation wall to provide anchoring for the structure. T h e construction of the foundation must be coordinated with the installation of the artificial turf previously authorized and scheduled to be completed by August 1, 1985. Therefore, it is necessary to award a contract for the foundation at this time. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the award of the following contracts, the award in each case being to the low base bidder, to provide the foundation walls adjacent to the west and east main stands. General English Brothers Company, Champaign Electrical William Anderson d / b / a Coad Electric Co., Champaign Total Base Bid $292 300 39 300 $331 600
