(From page l) Prosecutor's building. MAC DONALD'S PROJECT has been as delayed as Howell's, and the changes he's made have been more significant in size and cpst. But most of MacDonald's problems are state-caused, not local and, because of the terms of his contract, he has not had to return to the freeholders and the limelight. 0 Howell included a fiat $292,500 fee in his contract of April 24, 1984. As a result, every change that requires more of his firm's time brings him back to the freeholders to ask for more money MacDonald's May 10, 1093 contract was more normal for the Drofession: 6 percent of construction. On ftiarch 23, 1984, he suggested that, "for purposes of billing," the county estimate a construction cost of $6 million. His fee: $360,000. But if the project, in fact, totals $9 million, his fee will climb by $180,000 to $540,000 — without having a public debate with the freeholders.

Space had to be reallocated He returned Dec. 11, 1984. for another $315 for the same change. On March 26, 1985 he got another amendment to do additional work for the Records Room and temporary courts facility at the county airport for a fee not to exceed $8,200 / And last Sept. 24 he returned -ask $32,160, most of it having to do witn the Prosecutor-Surrogate flap. "As the scope of the work changes, the fee changes," Howell told this newspaper "As the time lengthens, that affects the cost of administration." Both men have similar hourly rates for additional serivces. Howell: $50 for the principal architect. $40 for an associate, and $13.50 for administration MacDonald : $60 for his principal. $35 for other employes, and $12.50 for clerical
