Judge Marks reported that the hearing on the Petition for
Writ of Mandate will be held March 30,1951 in the Court of
Appeals at Fresno.
EXECUTIVE Director Robert H.Boney,Chairman of the Executive
JOMMITTEE Committee,reported that the Special Committee ap—
~EPORT pointed by the Executive Committee,consisting of
t~irectors Willis H.Warner,Chairman,Virgil H.Reed,
and.Hugh W.Warden,had spent three days interviewing fourteen
consulting engineering firms and analyzing the letters of appli
cation.They reported back to the Executive Committee with the
names of three engineering firms whom they believed to be the
best qualified to do the work.After study and discussion,the
Executive Committee unanimously recommends that the firm of
Harrison &Woolley of Santa Aria (affiliated.with Headman,Fer
guson and.Carollo of Phoenix)be employed,to modify the Bacon
report arid to design plans and.specifications for constructIon;
and.that Mr.Fred.D.Bowlus be employed as a consultant to the
Sanitation Districts on the ocean outfall.Also,that the Exec—
utive Committee recommends that the District Boards instruct it
to negotiate contracts with Harrison &Woolley and.with Mr.Fred
D.Bowlus.
Director Warner reported that most of the firms interviewed.
and the one selected by the Executive Committee,had based.thelv
tees upon the American Society of Engineers?fee percentage
curves.That these fee percentages are a sliding scale and.if
one firm does the work for everything within the bond.issue for
the joint districts,the fee percentage will be lower than if
districts individually contract phases of their work,
Director Willard Smith expressed the opinion that the court?
decision on the limited participation litigation and the questIon
of extension of time being granted to secure Chapter 20 Funds
should be settled before contracts are negotiated.
Judge Marks r~ported that these two factors would.be taken
into consideration in the contracts and.that terniination clauses
would be provided to take care of an adverse court decision and
non—extension of time on Chapter 20 Funds.
JHAPTER 20 A motion was made by Director Willis H.Warner,secon-~
ded by Director Robert H.Boney,and duly carried by
the joint Boards,that Orange County Sanitation Die—
tricts go on record.as favoring an extension of time for Chapter
20 Funds ~rhich would extend the time of application one year to
December 31,1952,the completion d.a~te to December 31,19514’,and
settlement of claims date to December 31,195,5,and.that Admin—
istrative Officer and the Secretary be instructed to write our
