Contract for Addition of Scoreboards, Message Boards, and Marquee, Pavilion, Chicago Circle

(21) On February 18, 1982, the concept of scoreboards and related items for the Pavilion at the Chicago Circle campus was discussed with the Buildings and Grounds Committee of the Board of Trustees. In the light of that discussion, an architect was employed to assist in the development of specifications, and bids were solicited for various options for these facilities. (The result of the bidding was reported to the Buildings and Grounds Committee on May 20, 1982.) The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, now recommends the award of a contract for $132,482 to Nissen Corporation, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for a scoreboard, indoor message center system, and outdoor message/animation marquee for the Pavilion. The award, on the basis of the low base bid for Option D, 1 is for $110,482 plus voluntary options to the scoreboards for electronic captions ($12,000) and team names ($10,000) for an overall total of $132,482. The president further recommends that the board approve an additional $14,000 for the services of the architect and $7,500 for the estimated cost of the additional work to be provided by the Physical Plant Department to extend the electrical conduit, and for miscellaneous site work. Funds for this additional project for the Pavilion are available from the interest earnings of the University of Illinois Auxiliary Facilities System Revenue Bonds, Series N Construction Fund. A schedule of the bids received has been filed with the secretary of the board for record.

On motion of Dr. Donoghue, these recommendations were approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Dr. Donoghue, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Madden, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Stone; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Bandala, Mr. Bettenhausen, Mr. Persons; no, none.)

* Option D is the total cost of scoreboard and message center systems, and outdoor message/ animation marquee.
