grant for the above projects for the Airport Development Aid Program, FY 1978, and that the comptroller and the secretary of the board be authorized to execute the necessary documents. It is further recommended that the board concur in the recommendation of the engineering consultant.

Amendment to Architectural/Engineering Contract,1 Administration Building, University of Illinois—Willard Airport

(11) On April 14, 1976, the board authorized the employment of the firm of Simon, Rettberg, Garrison, Flom, Inc., Champaign, to provide the architectural and engineering services necessary for the design and construction of an addition to the Administration Building at the University of Illinois—Willard Airport at a fee based on 6 percent of the total construction cost. However, the firm was authorized to proceed only through preliminary studies and cost estimates, for which the University's obligation would be limited to $5,000, until further action of the board. T h e feasibility study has been completed and the project costs sufficiently estimated to permit the conclusion of preliminary financing procedures. The estimated cost of new construction is $360,780, and the estimated cost of remodeling is $82,080. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the action of the board of April 14, 1976, be amended to approve a fee of 6 percent of the actual cost of new construction and 15 percent of the actual cost of remodeling construction, plus authorized reimbursements, less the amounts previously paid the firm during the preliminary study phase. Funds are available from the Airport Operations Development Reserve Account. This project is subject to approval as a noninstructional facility by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.

The student advisory vote was: Aye, Miss Conlon, Mr. Overstreet, Miss Winter; no, none. On motion of Mrs. Rader, this recommendation was approved and the action of the Board of Trustees of April 14, 1976, was amended by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Lenz, Mr. Livingston, Mrs. Rader, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Velasquez; no, Mr. Howard; absent, Mr. Neal, Governor Thompson.
