CARDINE, Justice, Retired,
dissenting.
I dissent.
I would affirm the arbitrator’s award. The parties signed one contract and by agreement continued to add new projects based on the terms of the “Phase I” contract. All the oral agreements subsequent to the “Phase I” contract were subject to the arbitration clause. The arbitrators did not exceed the scope of their authority because the arbitration provision in the “Phase I” contract was broad and because all of the oral and written *1076agreements, entered into after the “Phase I” contract was executed, appear to “relate back” to the “Phase I” contract.
