Change Order, Contract with Architect/Engineer, Parking Structure Number 2, Chicago Circle

(24) On March 23, 1977, the Board of Trustees authorized the employment of Carl Walker & Associates, Inc., Elgin, to provide the architectural and engineering services required for the planning and construction of Parking Structure Number 2, Chicago Circle campus. T h e contract is for a fixed fee of $195,000, plus authorized reimbursements. T h e president of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends approval of a contract change order with Carl Walker & Associates, Inc., in order that the firm may be reimbursed for additional costs involved in connection with concrete, caisson, and compacted fill inspections and testing for the project. T h e cost of the services will be paid on an hourly rate and is estimated not to exceed $37,000 based on the planned construction sequence and schedule. Carl Walker & Associates, Inc., solicited proposals from six testing agencies to provide the required work on a unit price basis. Following their review, the architect has recommended Robert W. H u n t Company, Chicago. Funds are available from the proceeds of the sale of Chicago Circle Union Revenue Bonds, Series 1977.

In the later years of his life he resided in Pomona, California.

On motion of Mr. Overstreet, this recommendation was approved.
