City Engineer French stated he had received brochures from
seventeen engineering firms that would like to do the City
of Baldwin Park's Storm Drain design work; that he had
read all of the brochures; that, In his opinion, they were
all qualified to do the stor0 drain design work; that there
was a side benefit to the storm drain design and that was
matching funds; that when it first came out the State
said the City can use 55% of the cost of the traverse
drain and the whole cost of all of the cat bass i'r s and
connector pipe from the catch ardaIn to the drain for match-
ing credit; that for Baldwwin Park that would have been
approximately $600,000.00 to $700,000,00 for matching
credit; that they were now saying that it had to be shown
how much benefit this drainage was to the street and
what the cost was for providing this benefit and that was
the amount to be credited for matching funds; that he had
narrowed the field' down to eight firms; that he tried to
narrow the filed down fairly equally between large and
small firms controlled basically by one or two persons;
that there were benefits to both; that a large firm
probably had more diversified talent and more fields to
draw from; that with the small firm the principal of the
firm usually handled the entire project and would have
a bette- knowledge of the problem In presenting the
