About this file
This is a technical specification document for packaged utility wastewater pumping stations as part of project "ATS REPLACEMENT AT FC445, FC443, FC442" (Contract 24-0015). The specification covers diesel-powered backup sewage grinder/nonclog pumps and associated equipment including pump control systems, motors, air compressor and vacuum pumps, station piping, valves, and electrical components.
Key technical requirements include cast iron pump casings with cast steel impellers, hermetically sealed explosion-proof motors (Class 1, Division 1, Groups C and D), automatic priming capability, and the ability to run dry for up to 24 hours. The pumps must handle 3-inch diameter solids and incorporate grinder units. Control systems require NEMA 3R-rated stainless steel panels with intrinsically safe components, automatic pump alternation, high-level alarms, and 12 VDC battery backup systems. The specification mandates extensive submittals including shop drawings, product data, test reports, and operation/maintenance manuals, with many requiring government approval ("G" classification). Installation must be performed by manufacturer-authorized representatives, and the contractor must provide a minimum one-year warranty covering the complete pump station. The document references multiple industry standards from ASME, AWWA, ASTM, NEMA, and NFPA to ensure compliance with federal contracting requirements.
