Employment of Master Planning Consultant, South Campus, Urbana

(22) T h e recent appropriation by the Federal government of planning funds for the Plant and Animal Sciences Biotechnology Center will stimulate a series of activities which give high priority to planning for the south campus at Urbana. Based on the criteria used in its selection as master planning consultant for the north campus, and a desire to maintain continuity, the firm of Sasaki Associates, Inc., Watertown, Massachusetts, is believed best able to provide the required professional services for a south-campus master planning study. These services would be provided during the period March 1, 1986, through July 1986. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the employment of Sasaki Associates, Inc., for the professional services necessary to complete the south campus master plan on the basis of a fixed fee of $102,500, plus authorized reimbursable expenses estimated to be $18,000. Funds for this project are being provided from the Institutional Funds budget of the Urbana campus, a portion of which may be reimbursed from the U.S. Department of Agriculture project budget for the Biotechnology Center.
