BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[June 20

rate not to exceed $48,600, plus authorized reimbursements, estimated to be $5,400. A schedule of the firm's hourly rate has been filed with the secretary of the board for record. The work associated with the site improvements will be financed initially from the restricted funds operating budget of the Urbana-Champaign campus Physical Plant, with reimbursement from the proceeds of the 1985 Series Auxiliary Facilities Revenue bond issue, or from private gift funds held by the University for the benefit of the Athletic Association. On February 22, 1985, the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association authorized a track project of $1.2 million. The scope of the project has now increased to provide for paving outside the perimeter of the track, dual vaulting and jumping pits, dual throwing circles for shotput and discus, track surface surrounding the jumping and vaulting pits, and additional funds required for subsurface work due to poor soil conditions. Accordingly, on May 23, 1985, the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association authorized $1,672,170 for the track project. A schedule of the bids received has been filed with the secretary of the board for record. O n m o t i o n of M r .

Increases in Project Budget and in Architect's Contract, Krannert Art Museum, Urbana

(38) On June 21, 1984, the Board of Trustees authorized: (1) the renovation of and addition to the Krannert Art Museum at the Urbana-Champaign campus at a cost of $3,000,000; and (2) the employment of Booth/Hansen and Associates, Chicago, for architectural and engineering services through the completion of construction at a lump sum fee of $236,000, plus reimbursable expenses approved by the University. O n October 19, 1984, Booth/Hansen presented an exterior design to the Board of Trustees. The design was not approved, and the architect was asked to redesign the project. On May 16, 1985, an alternate recommendation was approved by the board. However, as reported then, the completion of the project, based on the new design, would increase the project cost by $600,000. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the project budget be increased to $3,600,000 and that the architect's lump sum fee be increased by $54,944 for the additional services required for the project, as revised. The project will be financed primarily from designated gifts and grants provided through the University of Illinois Foundation, the major portion being provided by the William S. Kinkead Trust and Estate. The estate now has agreed to provide an additional $300,000. T h e remainder will come from the institutional funds budget of the Urbana-Champaign campus ($200,000) and from accrued interest earnings ($100,000) from the gift funds now in hand.
