Contracts, Addition to Water Survey Research Center,1 Urbana

(19) In November 1982, the Adler Zone Center was assigned to the Illinois State Water Survey of Urbana. In Fiscal Year 1984, Capital Development Bond funds were appropriated by the General Assembly to remodel the facility for the survey. Because of its rapidly expanding space needs, the survey has proposed the construction of an addition to one of the existing buildings and last year, asked the University to coordinate the planning and construction in its behalf. The Universtity has provided such cooperative support to the State scientific surveys in the past. Under Illinois law, the functions of the surveys are exercised at the University of Illinois in "buildings and places provided by the trustees thereof." T h e facility as remodeled, therefore, continues to be a University building; and a portion of the cost of the addition will be provided from Urbana campus funds. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the award of the following contracts. The award in each case is to the low bidder on its base bid, plus acceptance of the indicated alternates, 1 to construct an addition to the Water Survey Research Center to provide office space for the Water Survey Division of the Illinois Department of Energy and Natural Resources. T h e project consists of the construction of a 5,550 gross square feet office building, utilizing a light commercial-grade construction.
