PSI? Total dynamic head( TDH)

16. Could you please confirm if the pump and hoses are to be supplied with only flanged connections, or would you like them to have Camlock or Bauer style quick disconnect couplings? Pump to Hose and

Hose to Hose- No requirement, must provide a way to connect hose to flanged suction and flanged discharge.

17. To achieve the required duty points, are multiple pumps able to be provided for series or parallel operation? If allowed, will there be multiple bypass flanges on the discharge force main(s)? Please provide the sizing of the bypass flange(s). No, Single unit is required.
