That is to say, we will handle the work for Direct (actual) Cost; plus Indirect (overhead or administrative expense) Cost, to be computed at fifteen (15%) percent of the Direct Cost and Profit to be computed at twenty (20%) percent of the Direct and Indirect Cost; the total cost to the City not to exceed ONE THOUSAND ($1, 000. 00) DOLLARS. The work to be performed under this proposal will consist of the following: 1. Revise the land assessment maps to show property ownership boundaries as existed on January 1, 1960. 2. Revise the land assessment maps to show all new subdivisions which are to be entered on the 1960 City Tax Roll. 3.
