Councilman Henderson questioned what the change order consisted of and when it occurred . City Manager responded that it was made up of several items . One of the major ones involved problems discovered in the storm drain , Arthur Allen , of DMJM, advised that the change order was composed of a total of seven items of various sizes . Principal one amounted to $3 , 500 involving work with the contractor in controlling water other than normal ground water in vicinity of installation , to tie the new project into former project , a cross connection of storm drainage system . When contractor began operations , occurrence of more than normal water became apparent and City was brought in to investigate with them and it appeared there was feed -back from the existing 60 " line . City forces were not in position to make the necessary repairs , and DMJM was called upon to work with their contractor to make repairs to the existing system , prior to starting his own work . District bore 55% of the pump -out , and contractor sustained 450 within bid item . He estimated this occurred some time in October , 1970 .
