I am submitting herewith a proposal from Harrington, Howard
& Ash, made by their Mr. Ash while he was in Miami a few days ago, in

available, we will be in a paettion to award oontraote without any de-
lay.

The City Manager submitted written communication addressed to the City Commission in
reference to the employment of an engineer to furnish plans and epeoifioations for
the water softening plant at Hialeah, to which wee attaohed oommunioation from the
Director of Public Service to the City Manager together with offers of certain en-
gineering firma. After being read the communication of the City Manager end the Di-
rector of Publio Servioe wereordered filed and oopied upon the minutes of the meet-

City Commission,
Miami, Fla.
Gentlemen: -
5th, 1924.
Attached hereto is a letter from the Director of Public Uti-
lities, Mr. Cotton, submitting hie files in reference to the employment
of an engineer to furnish plane and epeoifioatione for our water soften-
ing plant at Hialeah.
Mr. Cotton reoeived propositions from several eminent engineere
in this line of work, and the offer that Alvord, Baridiok and Bowaela
have submitted is the beet and lowest proposition. These engineers are
an old established firm, have done ooneiderable of this kind of work,
and stand very high in their profession.
April 15th, 1924.
I will therefore ieoommend that the proposition submitted
by Alvord, Burdick and Holtman be aooepted and they be employed to do
thie work.
Respeottuli7,
(Signed) F. H. WHARTON
City Manager
April 14th, 1924.
Mr. P. H. Wharton,
City Manager,
Miami, Florida.
Dear Sir: -
Regarding an Engineer for furnishing plans and epeoifi-
oations for our water treating plant at Hialeah, I beg to hand
you, herewith, our files on this snbjeot, covering proposals of
Andrew J. Provost, Maury and Gordon, and Alvord, Burdick and How-
son.
You will note that the fee caked for by Maury and Gor-
don and Andrew Provist is the same figure, while that of Alvord,
Burdiok and Howson is two and one-half per oent, plus aotual ex-
penditures for travel. Of o our ee we have no means of knowing
just what this figure will be. I would say that it would pro-
bably be somewhere around a total expatadlture of $6,000 to cover
their servioes.
I was very favorably impressed with Mr. Provost and be-
lieve that he would have a little advantage over the others in
this line, 1n as muoh as he has already made same study of the
supply both as Engineer for Mr. Glenn Curtis and also for the
J. G. Whits Company, however, the firm of Alvord, Burdick and
Howson is well established and they are spoken of highly in the
attaohed oorrespondenoe from Mr. Inohe and Anson Marston. In
view of this fact and that their proposal is approximately $3,000.
under the other proposals, I suppose that we should give this work
to them. They say, if given the work, they will be able to Tar-
nish plane and speoifioations within sixty days.
Prom my remembrance of Mr. Provost's statement, he
could give us a little earlier delivery on plans and speoifioe-
tione whioh would probably be very advantageous to us in much as
it would help things along th is muoh.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) ERNEST COTTON
Direotor of Publio Service
After oomparing the offers received and submitted by the Oily Manager and the Di-
reotor of Publio Service and duly considering same it appeared that it would be
to the advantage of the City to aooept the offer of Alvord, Burdick and Howson
as recommended by the City Manager and the Direotor of Publio Service and the said
offer was aooepted by the Commission by the following resolution which was offered
by Mr. Gilman:

nishing of plane and speoifioations and engineering eervioes in

aleah, and duly considering same, it appears that it is to the ad-
vantage of the City to aooept the offer of Alvord, Burdick and How-
son under the terms and conditions as set forth in their proposal
under date of April 3rd, 1924,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Commission of the City
