Mr. Stafford stated there would not be a spccial system, lIe noted there would be gravity vents, but no special work to treat the system with chemicals, He added some of those systems are quite expensive. He stated there are not a lot of complaints about this lift station. Councilmember Larson asked with the additional capacity how does this lift station compare with the others that have been reconstructed, Mr. Brown responded it is a critical station because the flow is so large, He stated he hopes the sealing of the trunkline coming into it will have a great impact. He hoped keeping down infiltration would buy additional time due to the increase in capacity, Councilmember Grant stated he noticed this would go out on one bid (the lift station, sanitary sewer repair, and televising work), He asked ifthere are ample vendors that could do all three, Mr. Brown responded the lift station work would tend to be a separate company, He stated there would probably be one general contractor and subcontractors for the other parts of the job. . MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to authorize staff to advertise for bids for Lift Station #8 rehabilitation,
