Margaret Lane <br /> Hiiisborougi?, N.C. 27278 <br /> Re: Change Order: Jail Facility <br /> Hillsborough, N.C. <br /> Project Number: 7603-08, File: A-2 <br /> Dear Mr. Laws; <br /> This is to confirm that we have transmitted to you this date by hand <br /> delivery three letters from Security Building Company dated 27 July, <br /> 28 July and 8 July 1982.

Estimate„ <br /> are not sail factory unless so stipulated on their bid. Therefore, I <br /> will deny the request from this office. <br /> As you aid I discussed it appears that the amount requested for the concrete <br /> abutment of $3,548.00 is relatively in line. " However, as we also discussed <br /> with the addltional fill and concrete slab to be added as well as a new con- <br /> tainment wall �on the exterior of the building it would seem that these abut- <br /> ments would niet be necessary. In calling Froehling & Robertson and speaking <br /> to Mr. Hood, we discussed the merits of not placing the abutments as they re- <br /> quested.
