outstanding items would be resolved directly between the Owner and

In complying with the direction which has been provided to O'Brien O'Brien
Callaway as stated above, we will notify our consultants of the City of
Coppell's decision and directions and it is understood that O'Brien O'Brien
Callaway and it's consultants have fulfilled their contractual obligations.
Should the services of either O'Brien O'Brien Callaway or any of it's
consultants be required in the future by the City of Coppell, a separate
additional services agreement will need to be executed prior to commencing
any further work.
As I requested during our telephone conversation of July 10, 1986, a formal
written notification is requested by our office from the City of Coppell
outlining the direction you have verbally given us as I have stated above.
It is requested that this formal written notification be received in a
timely manner, but as you are the duly authorized representative of the-
City of Coppell, we are presently complying with the verbal direction which
you have given O'Brien O'Brien Callaway and have ceased services effective
July 7, 1986.
Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Directorial Construction Administration
