CONTRACT WITH WARNER CONSTRUCTION COMPANY FOR T H E CONSTRUCTION OF W O M E N ' S RESIDENCE HALL Report of a Special Committee (34) On December 30, 1948, acting pursuant to authorization by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, President John R. Fornof appointed Mr. Kenney E. Williamson of the Board of Trustees and the President of the University a special committee to review all matters in dispute relating to the contract with the Warner Construction Company, Chicago, for the construction of the Women's Residence Hall (Lincoln Avenue Residence), and to make recommendations concerning the same to the Board. Subsequently, this Committee employed special counsel to represent it in direct negotiations with counsel for the W a r n e r Construction Company. T h e Committee recommends a settlement on numerous changes in the contract representing credits to the University for work omitted and extra payments to the contractor for additional work ordered — all relating to grading of the site, construction of sidewalks and driveways, and other work outside of the building but a part of the general contract. The net increase originally requested by the Warner Company was $19,086.26. Your committee's attorney and the University Architect recommended a settlement of $12,087.28, to which the contractor has agreed. This represents an increase of $1,275.43 in the fixed fee to be paid under the contract, and an increase of $11,594.85 in construction costs. Your committee recommends approval and authorization of the contract change orders necessary to implement this settlement. It affects only one phase of the construction contract and not settlement of the question of damages resulting from the delay in completion of the building. K E N N E Y E. WILLIAMSON GEORGE D. STODDARD Special Committee of the Board of Trustees On motion of Dr. Meyer, these changes in contract were authorized as recommended.
