Increase in Contract for Construction of Parking Structure, Medical Center

(23) On June 16, 1976, the Board of Trustees approved the award of contracts for the construction of a parking structure at the Medical Center campus. T h e contract provided that the general contractor, S. N. Nielsen Company, Chicago, was required to perform two load tests on the piling system designed for the structure prior to the installation of a permanent pile system. T h e results of the tests indicated the necessity to modify the pile system design. The architect for the project has recommended an increase in the number of piles and die enlargement of some of the pile caps. Accordingly, the President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the contract with S. N. Nielsen Company be increased by $31,014 for this work. Funds are available in the Medical Center Parking Revenue Bonds of 1976 construction account.

The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Conlon, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Volgman; no, none.
