original estimate of $790,000 was adopted:
1. The decision to flip-flop the building on the property at an esti-
mated cost of $66,500..
2. Storage for salt and sand was left out when the flip-flop was done
and the cost of this is estimated at $20,000 for a structure of pre-
cast concrete panels.
3. Soil borings could not be done until after the original cost
estimate because the location of the building on the property
was uncertain. Soil corrections estimated at $50,000 to $55,000.
