Mr. Brown recommended approval of Pay Estimate #1 for Infrastmcture Technologies, Inc., Brooklyn Park, Minnesota in the amount of$62,373.01. Mr. Stafford stated his support for lining the corrugated metal pipe with a plastic liner as there was no way of detennining how long the metal pipe would last. There are two manholes being rebuilt, one located at the end of the corrugated metal pipe, the other on Stowe Avenue and New Brighten Road. The manhole at Stowe Avenue had a forced main which dumped into the gravity system. \!''hen this occurs, the turbulence causes gases to be produced which eat away most of . the manhole. To repair it, the crew poured a new four inch concrete manhole within the existing one. A coating was then sprayed on the manhole to resist the gases. The Public Works Department inspected the project, were impressed, and felt Staff was on the right track. Councilmember Larson asked Mr. Brown where the project is in ternlS of the entire bid amount. Mr. Brown stated since this is a rehabilitation project, Staff can keep an eye on the project and stop testing and sealing when close to budget. With the exception of the small lines, the project has been nmning under the cost estimate.
