1957] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS IOI7
ADDITION TO CONTRACT WITH CONSULTING ENGINEERING SERVICE
(16) Consulting Engineering Service, Urbana, has been employed for the engineering
studies and the preparation of working drawings for air conditioning
installations in the Illini Union Building under the provisions of its contract
approved by the Board of Trustees on September 23, 1953.
At the time the project was authorized, the estimated cost of the engineering
services was $2,500. Because of problems in finding adequate space for ducts
and piping, as well as for additional ventilating equipment in the attic and
extension of the installations to serve work spaces and offices in the mezzanine
area, the total cost of the engineering services is now estimated at $3,460. All
projects under the contract with Consulting Engineering Service involving
engineering costs in excess of $2,500 require the approval of the Board, and I
request that the Comptroller be authorized to execute a contract change order
for this work.
On motion of Mr. Williamson, the Comptroller was authorized to
execute this change in the contract.
