Increase in Contract for Construction of Parking Structure, Medical Center

(18) The president of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the contract with S. N. Nielson Company, Chicago, be increased by $23,520 to fabricate and install necessary additional graphics for the parking structure at the Medical Center campus. It is now necessary to provide additional graphics, beyond those originally included in the design, for clear identification for the vehicular and pedestrian traffic within the structure. The firm of Carol Naughton & Associates, Graphics Consultant, Chicago, was employed by the architect for the replacement hospital to provide the graphics design for that facility. This firm has since been employed by the University to design the graphics for the parking structure and to coordinate with those in the replacement hospital. Additional work is to install approximately 350 additional signs and to revise the type of sign and message for approximately 350 signs included in the original contract. Funds are available in the Medical Center Parking Revenue Bonds of 1976 construction account (contingency).

The student advisory vote was: Aye, Miss Gonlon, Mr. Overstreet, Miss Winter; no, none. On motion of Miss Cordon, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Rader, Mrs. Shepherd; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson, Mr. Velasquez.
