As reported at the Board's July 23, 1969, meeting, during the actual construction on the last caisson (A-10), additional foundation problems were encountered which could not have been anticipated. At that time it was estimated that $73,550 would be needed to complete the work on the last caisson but the actual costs have exceeded the estimate. T o provide a portion of the funds necessary for the caisson work, on July 23, 1969, the Board of Trustees requested the Illinois Building Authority to delete certain seamless resilient flooring and reduce the contract in the approximate amount of $60,000. The contract reduction for this deletion has now been firmed up at $47,682.23. W o r k has now been completed on the last caisson. The minimum cost of the last caisson has been established at $83,768.95 but the general contractor has also claimed at this time other costs totaling approximately $66,000 which may require additional deletions to provide funds. In addition, architect and engineering fees which have resulted from this increased work are estimated to be $22,000. At a later date, a recommendation will be submitted to the Board of Trustees on the resolution of these matters. In order to provide a portion of the additional funds for these adjustments, it is proposed to eliminate all fixed laboratory furniture included in the contract, thereby reducing the contract by $55,900. Accordingly, the President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board of Trustees now act: 1. T o rescind that part of the March 19, 1969, request of the Board of Trustees that pertains to reducing the contract of the general contractor, Erik A. Borg Company, with the Illinois Building Authority by approximately $35,800 for the omission of certain fixed equipment (autoclaves and sterilizers); 2. To amend the July 23, 1969, action of the Board of Trustees requesting the Illinois Building Authority to reduce its contract with the general contractor for the omission of seamless resilient flooring, from approximately $60,000 to the firm price of $47,682.23; 3. To request the Illinois Building Authority to reduce the contract with the general contractor by eliminating all laboratory furniture in the amount of $55,900; 4. To request the Illinois Building Authority to increase the total authorization of its contract with the Erik A. Borg Company, Chicago, in the amount of $10,218.95 for construction.

On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Grimes, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Swain; no, none; absent, Mr. Jones, Governor Ogilvie, Mr. Page, Mr. Steger, Mr. Stone.
