SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The trash pump specified in this section will be used to pump raw sewage. The pump and accessories shall be supplied by the pump manufacturer. The pump shall be fitted with a fully automatic priming system incorporating an air compressor, air ejector assembly, and an air/water separation tank. The priming system shall be capable of priming the pump from a completely dry pump casing. The air ejector shall operate on the discharge side of the compressor, eliminating the possibility of water being drawn into the air source. The pump must be capable of running totally dry for periods up to 24 hours, then automatically re-priming and returning to normal pumping volumes without need for any adjustment. The priming system shall not use a vacuum or diaphragm pump, nor require the use of a "foot"-type valve. It shall contain no moving parts or protective float gear. Priming systems that require manual water additions to facilitate pump priming are not acceptable. A demonstration of the pump's ability to repeatedly cycle from dry suction/pump/snore/repriming/pump shall be required. This will necessitate the draining of all residual water from the pump case to initiate a dry suction starting condition. Pump and priming system shall be fully automatic, needing no form of adjustment or manual addition of water for the priming system. The pump shall be capable of static suction lifts to 28 vertical feet, at sea level. It shall also be capable of operation using extended suction lines. Equipment acceptance shall be contingent upon the pump's ability to run continuously at full speed in a completely dry condition for periods up to 24 hours. This may require the draining of all residual water in the pump casing to simulate a dry suction/case condition. The engineer may require a demonstration. The pump offered shall be the manufacturer's standard production model. It shall have been in continuous use by municipal and/or industrial owners for a minimum of three years. A list of five user contacts including contact names and telephone numbers shall be provided with the bid submittal. Failure to supply a verifiable user's list may be cause for rejection of the bid.
