Employment of Architect/Engineer, Renovation of McKinley Health Center, Urbana

(22) The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the employment of Robert P. Simon & Associates, Champaign, for architectural and engineering services for the renovation of of McKinley Health Center, Urbana campus. The services required, through receipt of bids, will be at a lump-sum fee of $272,000 plus authorized reimbursements, estimated to be $12,000. Upon receipt of satisfactory bids, the Board of Trustees will be requested to approve contracts for construction and to employ the firm for architectural and engineering services required during construction. This project will be financed from the proceeds of the Series 1985 Auxiliary Facilities Revenue Bond issue.

On motion of Mr. Howard, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Howard, Mr. Logan, Mrs. Shepherd, Miss Smith; no, none; absent, Mr. Madden, Governor Thompson. (Mr. Hahn asked to be recorded as not voting.) (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Becker, Mr. Lamm; no, none.)

Lease of Space, Hospital Financial Operations and Information Services, Chicago

(23) The chancellor at Chicago has recommended that the University contract with "Riceland" (a California limited partnership) and American Development Corporation to lease approximately 20,000 square feet of space in the Rice Building, 815 West Van Buren Street, Chicago, for the period January 1, 1986, through December 3 1 , 1988, to provide offices for the accounting, billing, and information services of the University of Illinois Hospital. The cost will be at a base rate of $8.50 per square foot per year (approximately $170,000), subject to an annual increase of 5 percent. The cost includes janitorial services and all utilities except electric service. The lessor will remodel to the specifications of the University, at the standards of the lessor, and at the expense of the lessor. The University will have the option to cancel the lease, with penalty, at the end of the second year of the agreement with six months prior notice. The accounting, billing, and information services are now housed in inadequate space. It is neither air conditioned nor adequately wired for electricity, making it unsuitable for computer terminals for the Hospital's information systems. A search of campus space has failed to identify any suitable options. The accounting, billing, and information services will be moved back to the campus when space becomes available, which is expected within three years. Funds are available in the Hospital Income Fund. The vice president for business and finance recommends approval. I concur.

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