Employment of Architect/Engineer, Fire Service Institute, Urbana

(21) In 1980, the State Fire Service Institute Act became effective, providing additional funding for staff and capital improvements. A facilities master plan was developed; and phased construction, using available appropriated funds, began in 1981. T h e facilities included in the master plan are: a classroom/office building; fireapparatus storage area; structural burn building; an addition to and remodeling of the fire tower; burn facilities for solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels; and the necessary roads, utilities, and site work. Using the phased approach, the following have all been completed: remodeling of and addition to the existing fire tower; construction of a flammable-liquid and gas-storage area and distribution system; three burn areas; related water-main improvements and waste-water treatment facilities; site roadway and resurfacing of the fire tower apron; and the foundation, frame, and exterior shell of the main portion of the classroom/office building. The 84th General Assembly has appropriated $2.6 million in Capital Development Bond funds for Fiscal Year 1986 for the completion of the balance of the project. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board of Trustees request the Capital Development Board to employ the firm of Stevens, Rishling & Associates, Inc., Champaign, for the required professional services through the completion of the balance of the project. The professional fee will be negotiated by the Capital Development Board in accordance with its procedures. Funds for the employment of this firm have been appropriated to the Capital Development Board for FY 1986.

On motion of Mr. Howard, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr.
