98 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [September 19 addition to Orchard Downs, but through oversight was not included in the terms recommended to the Board. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend a change in the contract to provide for the basic minimum fee payments for that part of the site work done by the consulting engineers. Based upon bids which have been received, the additional cost is $3,474.25. Funds are available in the proceeds of the revenue bond issue to finance construction of the Orchard Downs housing project. I concur. On motion of Mrs. Watkins, this change in contract was authorized. PAYMENT FOR A R C H I T E C T U R A L S E R V I C E S (28) The Board of Trustees on September 21, 1960, authorized the employment of Richardson, Severns, Scheeler, and Associates, Champaign, and L. Lattin Smith and Associates (formerly Mielke and Smith), Chicago, for architectural services on the third phase of the residence halls for graduate students, at a fee not to exceed 6 per cent of the construction contracts, less previous payments to Richardson, Severns, Scheeler, and Associates for preliminary work. When this employment was authorized, the building for the third phase of the residence halls for graduate students was to be constructed at the southwest corner of Sixth and Chalmers Streets, Champaign; subsequently approval was given to changing to the site at the northwest corner of Fifth and Chalmers Streets. Prior to this site change, Richardson, Severns, Scheeler, and Associates had made preliminary studies and designs for the original location at a total cost of $3,953. The studies and design work for the original site will ultimately be used when construction proceeds on that site and the contract with the architects will be adjusted to allow credit for such work. In the meantime, payments made for this work should not be deducted from the fee paid the firm "for the project to be located on the Fifth Street site, and it is requested that payment to the architects be on the basis of the rates authorized by the Board without deduction for the payments made for work on the site at Sixth and Chalmers Streets. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend authorization of this change in the contract. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r .
