This is to acknoroled~e n~ith than}, your request that I submit
a proposal for making an engineeriric; investi~e.tion of your present

investi~ at i on of the unse:.cred areas tY.thin ;,•our• City and those small
unse~++ered areas adjacent to yotu i;ity r;iciclt r:ray be developed in the
near i'uture.
I tirould be plcasecl to unclertaice fire ~~ssi;nzerzt outlined above.
Should l be retained by the City I '.+ould r:ral;e a field in-aest:i~;at-.on ;,~
acrd prepztx•e a comprehensive engineering, econo;:ric and linanc:ial report.
Such a report r+ould cover the adeduacy of the oriC,inal design of yorar
present ser~+ers, the px~aent and ultimate needs and tirottld i nclude a ~

design 1'or tore unserr~red areas. Also, fire report vrould include a master
plan dividing the zaor}s into tiro or three stages as •++e.Ll as an estirratcd i
cost.~!~
It is rather dia'ficult to rnalce a predeter;nination _f the ar:rount, of 'I
•aork involved in these sil,uations be~~au e each job has its different ~,`
aspects and problems. As I visualize y.~ur particular situation, ho;ever,

heavy, it grill be appreciated if you ti+oulcl advise m~e of ;y our decis:ton as
soon as possible so that I might schedule the startirz~, oi~ the ;work at an ~~
e~.r]y date.
I greatly ay~preciate your consiclcrin n~ fixer for this trod: srd if
