The University awarded a contract for analysis and development plan to GLHN Architects & Engineers of Tucson, AZ for $55,924.

This is a contract for planning analysis and utility development plan for the UIC Campus chilled water distribution system. This is a sole source purchase because the services that are to be provided require an expertise that is available only from the recommended firm. GLHN was previously awarded a contract in accordance with the Architectural, Engineering, and Land Surveying Qualifications Based Selection Act to develop a master plan and computer model of the UIC chilled water production and distribution system. Their success in developing a computer model in the previous engagement provides them with unique expertise in building on that computer model to provide planning analysis and utility development plans for future construction work at the UIC Campus that will require chilled water production and distribution. The Chief Procurement Officer for Higher Education has approved the waiver of competitive bidding requirements for this engagement as being in the best interest of the State. The work will be done during the period from execution of contract through June 30, 2005.
