Text: Stanton asserted that Commission caused delays and disruptions in the performance by Stanton of its contract; in requiring undue excavation depth for a culvert at Station 125 and in not paying contract price for that excavation and for other culverts included in the contract; in requiring backfill density tests at unreasonable levels; in requiring unnecessary inspections causing extra work; and that Commission made costly errors in structural excavation for which Stanton was entitled to pay but for which it was not compensated. An examination of the testimony for Stanton taken most favorable for it, reflects that Stanton made out a prima facie case as to the culvert excavation it did other than at Station 125 and this means that the Commission should have been required to put on its proof as to this culvert excavation in answer to Stanton's prima facie case. In all other respects, Stanton failed to make out a prima facie case as to the Sharkey project, as the court correctly found.
