Contract with Capital Development Board for Repair of Peoria School of Medicine Roof Surface, Medical Center

(31) The 78th General Assembly appropriated Capital Development Bond funds for the construction of the Peoria School of Medicine. The project was substantially completed and accepted by the Capital Development Board (CDB) in July 1977. Since the spring of 1980, the roof of the laboratory portion of the building has leaked. Investigations by the architect, roofing contractor, University staff, and the Capital Development Board have revealed that the insulation material is absorbing a large volume of water which is not in compliance with the specification. The architect has recommended that the roofing surface over this portion of the building be removed and replaced. The Capital Development Board has advised the University that CDB funds are not available for this corrective work and has asked the University to provide the funds to finance it. Section 12 of the Capital Development Board Act provides, in part, that the CDB and the University may contract with each other and other parties as to the design and construction of any project to be constructed for or upon University property. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the University contract with the Capital Development Board to undertake a project to remove and replace the roofing surface on the laboratory portion of the building and to undertake such investigative work as required to determine the condition of other roofing areas of the project. T h e CDB will pursue its contractual rights under the original contract for the Peoria School of Medicine and reimburse the University from any proceeds which may result from those efforts. T h e amount of the contract will not exceed $66,000.
