acquired the portion of the site required for the original construction of the Peoria School of Medicine facility. Schedule A of the contract document identifies Tracts 1-A and 1-B, Tract 1-A being in the initial conveyance for the original construction of the facility; and Tract 1-B being that part of the total site to be conveyed to the University and not needed for the original construction. The City now wishes to modify Schedule A by deleting from Tract 1-A the following lots: 100-21, 100-27, 101-1, 101-13 and 101-14 and transferring these to Tract 1-B. This modification will not interfere with the University's construction schedule. Two of the lots being transferred, 101-13 and 101-14-, will continue to be occupied by the present owner until acquired by the City and transferred to the University with the balance of Tract 1-B. To avoid disruption of the gas service to this property, Central Illinois Light Company is requesting a license to transmit gas northwesterly along Monson Street to lot 101-6 and then northeasterly across that lot to lots 101-13 and 101-14. Such a license will remain in effect only until January 1, 1976, and will not interfere with the University's construction schedule. The President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends approval of the foregoing revision to the contract with the City of Peoria and the Capital Development Board to modify Schedule A and to grant a temporary license to Central Illinois Light Company. O n motion of M r . Swain, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. H a h n , Mr. Howard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Rader, Mr. Steger, Mr. Swain; no, none; absent, Dr. Bakalis, Governor Walker. Employment of Architects and Engineers for a 500-Bed Replacement Hospital, Medical Center (29) The President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Capital Development Board be requested to employ the firms of Schmidt, Garden & Erikson, Chicago; Bertrand Goldberg Associates, Chicago; and A. Epstein & Sons, Inc., Chicago, in "joint association" for complete architectural and engineering professional services for the design and construction of a new 500-bed replacement hospital at the Medical Center campus, upon funds being made available through the Capital Development Board for this purpose. Further, it is proposed that the total fees for this work not exceed six per cent (6%) of the actual construction cost. Funds totaling $1,750,000 were appropriated to the Capital Development Board from the Capital Development Bond Fund for this University project in FY 19 75 and are available, subject to release by the Governor. The balance of the funds for these professional services has been included in the University's Capital Budget Request for FY1976. Earlier in the meeting, the Committee on Buildings and Grounds approved this recommendation, with the understanding that adequate steps would be taken to protect the interest of the University and that the contract ultimately developed would fix responsibility for architectural and engineering services in one firm. Accordingly, in the course of consideration of this item by the Trustees, Mr. Howard moved that the Vice President for Planning and Allocation be directed to report monthly to the Board of Trustees on the hospital project, to assure that direct responsibility for the project be fixed, to the
