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 thework.After study and discussion,the

Director Warner reported that most of the firms interviewed
and the one selected by the Executive Committee,had based theft
fees upon the American Society of Engineers’fee percentage
curves.That these fee percentages are a sliding scale and if

the joint districts,the fee percentage will be lower than if
districts individually contract phases of their work.

decision on the limited participation litigation and.the quest~.on
of extenstonof time being granted to secure Chapter 20 Funds
