(b) Modification may be made for the purpose of clarifying the award or upon the following grounds:

(1) there was an evident miscalculation of figures or an evident mistake in the description of any person, thing, or property referred to in the award; or

(2) the arbitrators have awarded upon a matter not submitted to them and the award may be corrected without affecting the merits of the decision upon the issues submitted; or

(3) the award is imperfect in a matter of form, not affecting the merits of the controversy.
