- **Named manufacturers and vendors:** **KSB** is specified for both wastewater pumps, with approved equal substitutions permitted; **Xypex Chemical Corporation** supplies the specified Xypex Admix C-500 waterproofing admixture. **Permox** coating or an equivalent is specified for sewer lining. **Three Notch Group, Inc.** is identified as the engineer. Polymer concrete structures are allowed as an alternate structure type, subject to equivalency requirements.
- **Major quantities:** 540 vertical feet of helical-pile foundations; 2 manholes; approximately 80 LF of 10- and 12-inch PVC gravity sewer; 520 LF of 12-inch HDPE force main; 80 LF of 10- and 12-inch ductile-iron force main; 480 LF of 4-inch, 180 LF of 8-inch, and 1,460 LF of 10-inch PVC force main; 2 each of 12-inch and 10-inch plug valves; 2 combination air-relief valves; and 6 existing force-main connections.

The specifications set station-specific flow, head, power, voltage, phase, frequency, and discharge-elbow requirements; approved equal models may be proposed.
- **Other requested work:** SCADA integration at both lift stations and an additive alternate for a natural-gas-fired backup pump at Scenic Highway 98.
- **Notable requirements:** Use Xypex Admix C-500 in precast manholes and vaults at 2%–3% of cement weight. Helical-pile work includes design and calculations, materials, equipment, labor, soil and groundwater testing, torque testing, and installation. Polymer concrete alternatives must meet structural, waterproofing, and corrosion-resistance requirements; exterior coating is bituminous.
- **Estimated construction value:** $3.5 million–$4.2 million.
