Attorney Meyers said that in order to do correction of any defectsif any,
in the city hall construction the city will authorize these change order
but not in the normal sense of a change order in addition or subtraction
of the building that would normally be handled by Change Order.
Councilman Baumgartner questioned Change Order #4. He said he recalled
that the report from Twin City Testing calls for certain materials to
be used around drain tiles. He did not see that in the material list.
Mr. Walijarvi said the drawing that goes with it should be attached
to the change order.
Councilman Baumgartner said he noted that the vertical cast iron pipe
is now perforated, is this part of the change?
Mr. Walijarvi said it will be installed. This was part of the mechanical
contractor's job and he should have completed this is the first place.
Councilman Shelquist commented on change order No. 3 that in addition to
the dewatering charges listed here that future change orders would
probably request additional charges. He said Change Order #4, second
sentence did not include additional dewatering located in the basement
and questioned if it was dry enough to make changes with the amount of
water flowing at the present time.
Mr. Walijarvi said that B -E and Twin City Testing indicated the work
called for in change Orders No. 3 and 4 could be done with the existing
dewatering system on the exterior of the building. He said that once
the work begins they might find out otherwise but at present they
don't expect any localized dewatering inside the basement.

accept Attorney Meyers qualifying statements.

Administrator Achen asked Engineer Bearden to talk to Orfie and Sons on
the cost problem B -E has with them.
Mr. Walijarvi said they had told him it would be $350 a day for one
month but when they were contracted for it was $700 a month after the
wells were put in.
Mayor Johnson asked why Change Order No. 5 was necessary.
Administrator Achen said under specifications there is no security for the
police department in the evenings when the city is open for public meetings,
etc. Mayor Johnson asked if the plans called for a grill. Administrator
Achen said, "No, it was contemplated but according to the architect it was
removed from the plan at the city's request."
