PACIFIC NATIONAL EQUITY COMPANY, a California Limited Partnership, Appellant, v. James M. MONTGOMERY, Consulting Engineers, Inc., a California Corporation, and Ralph Torello, Appellees.
    No. 77-2126.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Feb. 21, 1979.
    Sherwin Gross of Courshon & Berk, Miami, for appellant.
    Craig W. Lekach of Law Offices of James J. Belcher, Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

This cause is affirmed with the exception of the award of $809.99 described as “job connected expenses.”

The contract between the parties provided for payment by one of two methods:

(1) Cost, plus 125%, plus job connected expenses or, if less

(2) $15,000.00 total.

The trial court in this case found the second method to be applicable and with this we have no quarrel. However, the lower court also included $809.99 of job related expenses. This was error.

The cause is remanded with direction to the trial court to modify the final judgment by eliminating the award of $809.99 for job connected expenses and as so modified the final judgment is affirmed.

AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED.

DOWNEY, C. J., and DAUKSCH and LETTS, JJ., concur.
