Increases in Scope of Project and Architectural/Engineering Services, Busey-Evans Residence Hall, Urbana

(18) The Busey-Evans Residence Hall renovation at Urbana was included in the 1985 Series Auxiliary Facilities Revenue Bond issue at a project budget of $6 million. On July 18, 1985, the Board of Trustees employed the firm of Salogga, Bradley, Likins & Dillow, Decatur, at a fixed fee of $320,000 to provide the professional services required through receipt of bids. During the initial planning phase, the architects identified specific items, which the Housing Division has considered essential, that will increase the scope of the project, viz.: to provide additional space to consolidate dining; to construct an addition to Evans to provide an additional 54 beds; to remove asbestos insulation; and to provide air conditioning for the entire facility. The cost of these revisions will increase the cost of the project to a total of $8 million. The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the project be increased to $8 million and that the agreement with Salogga, Bradley, Likens & Dillow be increased to $370,000 for the professional design services through receipt of bids, plus authorized reimbursements which include the food service consultant, estimated to be $45,000. Funds to finance the enlarged project are available from the Auxiliary Systems Replacement and Reserve fund and the restricted funds operating budget of the Urbana campus Housing Division.

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

The firm has advised the Capital Development Board that it is not available to undertake the project at this time. The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, now recommends, subject to availability of funds, that the Capital Development Board be requested to employ the firm of Stanley Howell & Associates, Inc., Chicago, to provide the required services. The fee will be negotiated in accord with the standard fee structure of the Capital Development Board for such projects.

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