The city is facing $743,556 in new expenses related to the problem-plagued 21st Century Waterfront.

The City Council on Nov. 3 will be asked to approve two expensive change orders on the work at the concrete seating and walking section at Ross's Landing.

One with Smith Contractors is for $524,131 - bringing its total contract to $6,226,381.

Another with HDR Engineers is for $219,425. That brings its bill to $1,101,140.

One aspect of the additional work is "to correct levelness of the concrete beams in the terrace section."

The latest repair work started last November, and it was due to be completed by May 1.

It is now set to continue through the end of the year.

The city earlier had to make expensive repairs to The Passage section by the Market Street Bridge.
