ADDITION T O C O N T R A C T WITH C O N S U L T I N G E N G I N E E R I N G S E R V I C E (16) Consulting Engineering Service, Urbana, has been employed for the engineering studies and the preparation of working drawings for air conditioning installations in the Illini Union Building under the provisions of its contract approved by the Board of Trustees on September 23, 1953. At the time the project was authorized, the estimated cost of the engineering services was $2,500. Because of problems in finding adequate space for ducts and piping, as well as for additional ventilating equipment in the attic and extension of the installations to serve w o r k spaces and offices in the mezzanine area, the total cost of the engineering services is now estimated at $3,460. All projects under the contract with Consulting Engineering Service involving engineering costs in excess of $2,500 require the approval of the Board, and I request that the Comptroller be authorized to execute a contract change order for this work.

On motion of Mr. Williamson, the Comptroller was authorized to execute this change in the contract.
