CONTRACT FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES ON S E W E R S A N D WATER MAIN PROJECTS (16) The building program at Urbana-Champaign projected for 1959-61 includes the following storm and sanitary sewers and water main projects needed to service the proposed new buildings: Estimated Costs Sanitary sewer on Green Street from Mathews Avenue to the west side of Illini Union Building $ 39 600 Sanitary sewer — rerouting main campus outlet from south side of Illini Union Building to Mathews Avenue interceptor 40 000 Sanitary sewers on First Street and Fourth Street from Peabody Drive to Florida Avenue 23 100 Water main on First Street from Florida Avenue to St. Mary's Road 14 300 Rerouting twelve-inch water main at Illini Union Building 40 000 Storm sewer, Florida Avenue lateral from approximately 60 feet east of Fourth Street, west along Florida Avenue, to a distance approximately 1,250 feet west of First Street, and then South from Florida Avenue approximately 4,800 feet to the Embarrass River 500 000 Bids will be received on February 20 on the construction of the Assembly Hall and in August on the Illini Union Building addition. It is necessary therefore that engineering work on the sewer and water main projects be started promptly. The Physical Plant Department can not do this planning work without adding to its staff and this is not feasible in view of the temporary nature of the services. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend authorization of a contract with Wilson and Anderson, UrbanaChampaign, for engineering services on these projects, including the preparation of complete plans and specifications and detailed estimates of costs, and general supervision of construction but excluding services of a resident engineer, on the basis of the standard schedule of minimum fees adopted by the Illinois Society of Professional Engineers and the Illinois Association of Consulting Engineers. The total estimated cost of engineering services for these projects is approximately $36490 and the estimated cost for services of a resident engineer for field inspection, if requested, will be $8,000. Funds in the amount of $25,850 are available in the state appropriations to the University for 1957-59 for buildings and other capital improvements. T h e contract will provide for its termination if additional funds are not available
