AGREEMENTS W I T H ILLINOIS BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS WATER CORPORATION FOR REROUTING UTILITIES ON THE SITE OF THE PROPOSED CIVIL ENGINEERING BUILDING (15) Construction of a new Civil Engineering Building will require the relocation of the Illinois Bell Telephone Company's main inter-city conduit, cables, and associated equipment located on the site of the building. In consideration of the proposed long-range development plans for the area north of Springfield Avenue, the Illinois Bell Telephone Company proposes to reroute its facilities completely out of the area to eliminate future interference with the long-range expansion. The University's share of the cost to reroute the Illinois Bell Telephone Company's conduit, cables, and equipment will be $27,030. Construction of the building will also require the relocation of the Northern Illinois Water Corporation's sixteen-inch main, which is the University's main source of water supply, from the east side of Romine Street to the west side of Romine Street. The main also reinforces the Company's system along Springfield Avenue, and should be relocated during the month of August when the University's demand for water is at a minimum. The estimated cost of relocation is $7,623, but the University will be expected to pay the actual cost of the work. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend that the Board of Trustees authorize the Secretary of the Board and the Vice-President and Comptroller to execute the following, upon terms and conditions and in a form approved by the Legal Counsel: An agreement with the Illinois Bell Telephone Company for the rerouting of conduit, cables, and directly associated equipment from the Civil Engineering Building site at a cost of $27,030. An agreement with the Northern Illinois Water Corporation for the relocation of its sixteen-inch main from the Civil Engineering Building site at the actual cost to the Corporation, estimated to be $7,623. Funds are available to finance the projects through the University Stores and Services Fund which will be reimbursed by the State Building Authority when bonds are sold. I concur.
