Head Matter:
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.

Opinion:
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.
