The University awarded a contract for repair grading & grass around the 7 Residence Hall.
This emergency/quick purchase was required due to a situation in which immediate repairs were needed to prevent further loss or damage to University property.
The Illinois Mathematics & Science Academy is currently undergoing exterior Residence Hall renovations on seven (7) buildings under CDB Project #805-030-017. A combination of rainy weather and construction equipment has seriously destroyed the grading and grass around the area of the Residence Halls. Immediate expenditure to repair the grading and grass around the seven Residence Halls is necessary to avoid potential health and safety issues that could result from poor drainage, standing water, and unstable ground. Campus drainage issues will continue to decline due to the disruption of the grading around the buildings. Currently, the interior of the halls require maintenance and repair due to existing wear and damage. If the landscape is not repaired, there will be further damage to the interior of the halls as a result of mud on sidewalks, surrounding the halls, being tracked into the buildings. The original date students were to begin moving in was August 12th, school is already being delayed by one (1) week due to the construction project. The grading and grass must be repaired to prevent further delay in the start of school. We have chosen Semper Fi (registered veteran-owned small business) to award the project. We have utilized this vendor for projects’ in the past and found them responsive and responsible. Semper Fi is located close to campus and available to do the work within the time frame required.
