To the Honorable City Council
City of 3urlingame, Calif.
Dear Sirs:
Referring to the audit of your City's books and
accounts for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1944, and the
accounting system installation as outlined in our Survey issued
to you last tall:
We will agree to undertake this work for a maximum fee
price of 41,000.00; on the basis that we will receive full cooper-
ction from the personnel of the City in performance of this work,
and in passing on printing, and books purchases, etc. as promptly
as possible from time to time so as not to delay us, as and when
the data is ready. The cost of printing, forms, binders, etc. are
to be paid for by the City of Burlingame, which purchase orders
are to be placed by or with the consent of a designated representa-
tive of the City Council.
It is further understood, that at the completion of the
foregoing work, we will submit a record of the days involved in
doing the foregoing work, and if the total charge on the basis of
�30.00 per day for the writer, and 420.00 per day for any assistants.
if any, is less that wl,000.00, the total charge shall be reduced
to the lesser figure.
The foregoing estimate of 41,000.00 fee is roughly divided
w500.00 for the audit and ,�500.00 for the system installation, but
at the conclusion of the completed job, any saving of time on one
job will be applied to the other and the work merged in computing
the total charge.
It will be our endeavor to keep the cost= on this work,
both as to or time and other costs, down as low as is consistent
with a thorough job.
It is understood that we will, for our part, have the
installation in such form that the books and accounts will be in
readiness for use at the beginning of the fiscal year July 1, 1944.
Yours very truly,
CHAS. H. PETERSEN & CO.
