CONTRACT FOR LONG-RANGE PLANNING FOR T H E UNIVERSITY BUSINESS DISTRICT IN CHAMPAIGN (23) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend that the University be authorized to enter into an agreement with the city of Champaign for the employment of Harland Bartholomew and Associates for the preparation of a long-range development plan for the area bounded by University property on the south and east, the Illinois Central Railroad rightof-way on the west, and University Avenue on the north. The University will share equally in the cost of the preparation of this plan with the city of Champaign and the Campus Businessmen's Association. The University's share of the cost will not exceed $3,000. The plan will provide an orderly development of the commercial and surrounding residential areas and should provide coordination between the University's expansion and commercial improvements (both service and residential investments). Funds are available in the state capital appropriations to the University for 1961-63 from the Universities Building Fund and have been released. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r .

EMPLOYMENT OF HARLAND BARTHOLOMEW AND ASSOCIATES FOR LONG-RANGE PARKING PROGRAM (24) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend authorization of the employment of Harland Bartholomew and Associates, St. Louis, Missouri, for development of a long-range parking program for the Urbana-Champaign Campus. Due to losses of on-street parking spaces and of parking facilities for University staff resulting from new building construction, and an anticipated enrollment expansion which concurrently adds to the staff, it is proposed that a program be developed for construction of additional facilities which will be realistic in terms of need and which can be financed by the University. As the Physical Plant Department does not have personnel for this type of planning, it is necessary to retain outside professional services. Based on recent studies completed in this area by the firm of Harland Bartholomew and Associates, the firm should be able to complete the work at a cost below that of other firms. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend employment of Harland Bartholomew and Associates on the basis of cost plus ISO per cent for overhead and fees. The firm will also be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses, other than normal operating overhead, including travel, subsistence, printing, and other such charges directly related to this specific work. The total cost to the University will be limited to a maximum of $11,650. Funds are available in the Physical Plant Department budget for 1962-63. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r s .

The proposed rental rate is $565 per month. The University will assume the
