Description

A fixed fee contract by the city of Boston for naval architectural services, under which the architect was to receive a series of partial payments, and which provided that the architect's performance could be discontinued by the city's fire commissioner at any time and would be discontinued in the event the city did not commence construction of a fireboat within a specified period, was separable into several parts so as to preclude the architect's recovery of the balance of the fixed fee following failure of the city to commence construction within the specified period. [455-457] Work by a naval architect in making recommendations concerning a proposed construction contractor for a fireboat was not compensable either under the extra work provision of the architect's contract with the city of Boston, which had not been followed, nor as the result of any ""verbal contract"" arising from Discussions between the architect's representatives and the city's fire commissioner.
