Judge Marks reported that the hearing on the Petition for
Writ of Mandate will beheld March 30,1951 in the Court of
Appeals at Fresrio.
•~XECUTIVE Director Robert H.Boney,Chairman of the Executive
JOMMITTEE Committee,reported that the Special Committee ap—
REPORT pointed by the Executive Committee,consisting of
Directors 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 Ana (affiliated with Headman,Fer—
guson and Carollo of phoenix)be employed to modify the Bacon
report and to desi~n 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—
uti.ve Committee recommends that the Dietr3.ot Boards instruct it
to negotiate contracts with Harrison &Woolley and with Mr.Fred
D.Bowlus.
Director Warner reported that most of the f~.rms interviewed
and the one selected by the Executive Committee,had based their
fees upon the American So.ciety 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 ‘~~Tork.
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 reported that these two factors would be taken
into consideration in the contracts and that termination clausce
would be provided to take care of an adverse court decision and
non—extension of time on Chapter 20 Funds.
~HAPTER 20 A motion was made by Director Willis H.Warner,secon—
ruNDs 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 ~‘unds which would extend the time of application one year to
December 31,1952,the completion date to December 31,19514’,and
settlement of o1ai.m~date to December 31,1955,and that Admin—
istrative Officer and the Secretary be instructed to write our
representative in the State ~egislature urging their support of
this bill.
