REQUEST TO ILLINOIS BUILDING AUTHORITY FOR CHANGE ORDERS IN ARCHITECTURAL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS. MEDICAL CENTER AND URBANA

(38) In his budget message on March 1, 1971, the Governor adopted a new procedure for releasing capital projects for construction. The Board of Higher Education was asked to reevaluate all projects not under construction to be assured that the projects were still justified in accordance with Master Plan — Phase III. If justified, each project was to be reviewed by an intra-agency group called the Construction Review Task Force. Three University projects on which construction contract documents were substantially complete were recently reviewed. As a result, certain design and program revisions have been recommended for these projects which, it is anticipated, will result in project cost savings. Revisions to the construction contract documents will be necessary before the projects can be bid and will result in additional work for the architect, which is an additional service under the executed Architectural Professional Services Agreements. Accordingly, the President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Illinois Building Authority be requested to issue change orders to provide for payments for additional services as provided under the Architectural Professional Services Agreements for the following projects and at the estimated amounts: Estimated Amount Project Architect of Change Order Medical Center Campus College of Dentistry Building, Graham, Anderson, Phase II Probst & White $38 230 Urbana-Champaign Campus Medical Sciences Building Fugard, Orth & Associates $22 000 Veterinary Medicine Hospital Building, The Perkins & Will Phase II, Large Animal Clinic Partnership $38 500 Funds are available in the Illinois Building Authority project budgets.

On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Howard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Karnes, Mr. Neal, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Swain; no, none; absent, Dr. Bakalis, Governor Ogilvie, Mr. Steger. Mr. Hahn asked to be recorded as not voting.

REQUEST TO ILLINOIS BUILDING AUTHORITY TO USE PHASED CONSTRUCTION A N D CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT FOR THE LIBRARY OF T H E HEALTH SCIENCES. MEDICAL CENTER

(39) At the April 19, 1972, meeting of the Buildings and Grounds Committee, a proposal was presented for the use of phased construction and construction manager procedures for the Library of the Health Sciences project. Subsequently, the staffs of the Office of Physical Plant Planning and Construction and the Illinois Building Authority developed criteria and procedures required for the employment of a construction manager. The staffs have also interviewed ten firms and received proposals from six firms interested in providing such professional services. On the basis of the proposals received, the staffs of the Illinois Building Authority and the Office of Physical Plant Planning and Construction concur that Turner Construction Company, Chicago, should be engaged as the construction manager. Accordingly, the President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board of Trustees concur in the Illinois Building Authority's employment of Turner Construction Company, at a fee of $169,500 for professional construction management services for the Library of the Health Sciences at the Medical Center Campus and that phased construction procedures be utilized on this project. Funds are available in the Illinois Building Authority project budget.
