CONTRACT WITH BROWN, MANTHEI, DAVIS, AND MULLINS (29) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend a new contract with Brown, Manthei, Davis, and Mullins, Champaign, for engineering services on heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and electrical work for University improvement and maintenance jobs which, because of the small amount of work to be done, do not justify separate contracts for each. The new contract will include the following terms and will be for two years from July 1, 1959: Services of principals in the firm to be paid for at the rate of $7.50 an hour. Services of other personnel to be paid at hourly wage rates paid by the firm for regular or overtime work. Services performed on overtime basis to be paid for at the regular hourly rates unless such overtime work is specifically requested by the University and the rates are agreed upon in advance. Payments shall be on a monthly invoice basis; before any payment is made the University may audit or otherwise verify the invoice. The fee for services on any specific project shall not exceed $2,500 without approval of the Board. The contract may be terminated by the University at any time on written notice. For overhead costs and professional commission, an allowance of 100 per cent of the cost of services of the principals and employees will be added. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r .

TRACK SERVICE TO CENTRAL FOOD STORES BUILDING (30) The University has contracted with the Illinois Central Railroad Company for the construction of a spur track from its main line south of Stadium Drive in Champaign to the Central Food Stores Building. It is now necessary to enter into an operation and maintenance agreement for this service, and adoption of the following resolution is recommended: Be it and it is hereby resolved by this Board of Trusteees of The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois that the Comptroller and Secretary of this public corporation be, and they hereby are authorized, for and on behalf of this public corporation, to execute an agreement with the Illinois Central Railroad covering the operation, maintenance, etc., of the side track to serve the new Central Food Stores Building, which said side track is being constructed for said public corporation by said Illinois Central Railroad.

ADDITION TO CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF CENTRAL FOOD STORES BUILDING (31) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend an increase of $4,108.32 in the contract with Felmley-Dickerson Company, Urbana, for the construction of the Central Food Stores Building to provide for changes in storm sewer connections. When the contract for the construction of this building was awarded, drainage studies had not been completed for the entire area in which this building is being constructed. It has been found necessary to increase the size of the sewer along Oak Street, and to provide a new sewer line north of the building to drain the pocket created by lowering the railroad siding to facilitate unloading the freight cars. Funds are available in the construction account for this building. I recommend that the Comptroller be authorized to execute this change in the contract.

On motion of Mr. Johnston, this recommendation was approved.

ADDITION TO CONTRACT FOR PHYSICS BUILDING (32) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend an increase of $2,682.17 in the contract with the Mayfair Construction
