Employment of Architect/Engineer for Remodeling in Davenport Hall, Urbana

(20) The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the employment of Severns, Rishling and Associates, Inc., Champaign, to provide professional services required through the receipt of bids for a project to remodel vacated space in Davenport Hall for the Biophysics Division of the Department of Physiology and Biophysics. The architect would receive a lump-sum fee of $38,000 (less amounts previously paid for services during the design-development phase of the project), plus reimbursements authorized by the University. These are estimated to be $1,500. Funds for this "Renovation for Excellence" project are available in the Fiscal Year 1984 State appropriated budget of the Operation and Maintenance Division.

Increase in Architect/Engineer Contract, Auditorium, Urbana

(21) On November 17, 1983, the Board of Trustees awarded construction contracts for the renovation of the Auditorium and employed Holabird & Root, Chicago to provide professional architectural/engineering services. It was anticipated, due to the complexities of the project, that periodic site observation would not be sufficient to provide for proper coordination. The project is now under construction, and the architect has recommended (and the Office for Capital Programs concurs) that the agreement be increased to provide the following additional services for which the architect would be reimbursed: an on-site field representative on a half-time basis during the construction phase, at an annual cost not to exceed $25,000; periodic on-site visits involving structural, architectural, electrical, mechanical, acoustical, and interiors personnel as required on an hourly rate basis, the cost of which is estimated not to exceed $22,800. The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the contract with Holabird & Root, Chicago be increased as described. The funds are included in the $4.45 million budget authorized by the Board of Trustees. Funds are being provided from gifts to the University from Helene R. Foellinger as well as from the institutional funds budget of the Urbana-Champaign campus. O n m o t i o n of M r . L o g a n , this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d by the
