September 27, 1985 Mr. Roman Kolodij 121 S. Estes Chapel Hill, N.C. 27514 Dear Mr. Kolodij: I have received your September 18, 1985 recommended change orders to the plumbing and general contracts for the old Courthouse.

I also note that all but three of the items have already been undertaken without the approval of the owner as required under our April 14, 1983 Agreement. Section 1.5.3 states: "The Architect shall have authority to act on behalf of the Owner Only to the extent provided in the Contract Documents unless otherwise modified by written instrument in accordance with Subparagraph 1.5.16." Section 1.5.16 states: "The extent of duties, responsibilities and limitations of authority of the Architect as the Owner's representative during construction shall not be modified or extended without written consent of the Owner, the Contractor and the Architect." Section 1.5.14 states "The Architect shall prepare Change Orders for the Owner's approval and execution in accordance with the Contract Documents, and shall have authority to li order minor changes in the work not involving an adjustment in the contract sum or an extension of the Contract Time which are not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract Documents." All three of these sections have been violated by letting work embodied under the change orders proceed without the prior, written approval of the Owner. You were under expressed instructions from me to submit any and all changes II
