EXECUTIVE Director Robert H.Boney,Chairman of the Executive
COMMITTEE 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 &Woo].ley of Santa Aria (affiliated with Headman,Fer
guson and Carollo of Phoenix)be employed to modify the Bacon
report and to design plans and specifications for construction;
and that Mr.Fred D.Bowlus be employed as a consultant to the

D.Bowlus.
Director Warner reported that most of the firms interviewed
and the one selected by the Executive Committee,had based th~1r
fees 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~e
decision on the limited participation litigation and the question
of extension of time being granted to secure Chapter 20 Funds
should be settlelbefore contracts are negotiated..

into consideration in the contracts and that termination clauses
would be provided to take care of an adverse court decision and
non—extension of time on Chapter 20 Funds,
