authorizing the Hogan Corporation to proceed with the design of a submersible pump style lift station,
approximately 10,000 linear feet of 14 inch diameter force main, manholes, and related appurtenances
for an estimated project construction cost of$850,000. Mr. Holsted explained that the original project
scope included utilization of an existing abandoned mud line which runs parallel to Rush Creek from the
site of the existing Rush Creek Lift Station on Stone Road to the vicinity of the proposed location of the
new Rush Creek Lift Station anticipated to be located near Troy Road and Beaver Creek. However,
engineering analysis concluded that use of the existing abandoned mud line is unfeasible due to its small
size and deteriorated condition. Mr. Hoisted explained that the additional costs are associated with the
gravity sewer and the additional four thousand feet of gravity sewer that was not anticipated.
