REQUEST TO ILLINOIS BUILDING AUTHORITY TO INCREASE CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF CHICAGO CIRCLE CAMPUS. PHASE II (21) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend that the Illinois Building Authority be requested to authorize an increase of $134,567.58 in the contract with Gust K. Newberg Construction C o , Chicago, for the construction of Chicago Circle campus, Phase II. This additional cost is based on the necessity of extending caissons beyond the depth shown on the contract documents for the Library Addition ($49,456.32) and the Science and Engineering Staff Offices Building ($85,111.26) to reach solid rock for caisson support. The depths shown on the drawings were determined as a result of analysis of soil borings prior to the preparation of working drawings. Soil conditions experienced in construction at the planned depth required additional excavation to reach "solid rock," thus resulting in additional costs in construction. The amounts are based on a unit price of $900 per additional cubic yard excavated included in the bid and contract documents. Funds are available to the Illinois Building Authority for this work. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Swain, this change in contract was authorized by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Dilliard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Page, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Jones, Governor Kerner.
