4. The electrical system and components of the disc filter system must comply with applicable UFCs, FCs, and federal, local, and state regulations.
5. Operate within the hydraulic grade line of the existing WWTP.
   1. Systems that require additional pumping to meet the hydraulic grade do not meet the WWTP requirements.
   2. Maximum water level differential at Peak Design Flow rate between disc filter unit inlet and disc filter unit outlet = 100 millimeters.
6. Each disc filter unit must provide adequate capacity for the following flow conditions:
   1. Average Flow = 1.33 million gallons per day (MGD)
   2. Average Design Flow = 4.33 MGD
   3. Peak Design Flow = 10 MGD
7. Meet the following design specifications:
   1. Average Design Influent Total Suspended Solids (TSS) Concentration = 25 mg/L
   2. Maximum Design Influent TSS Concentration = 45 mg/L
   3. Required Effluent TSS Concentration = Less than 5 milligrams/liter Total Suspended Solids for influent less than 25 milligrams/liter; Less than 10 milligrams/liter Total Suspended Solids for influent less than 45 milligrams/liter.
8. Fit within the confines of a basin with dimensions of 32 feet x 16 feet (length x width).
9. Provide materials of construction that are corrosion resistant to coastal areas with seawater infiltration and groundwater intrusion.
10. Provide automatic high-pressure (>90 psi) backwash spray system.
11. Provide the capability to plumb the influent & effluent outlet of the disc filter system (i.e. submerging the disc filter system in the effluent is not acceptable).

Material Specification Requirements: Disc filter units must meet the following:

1. Filter Mesh
   1. Required filter mesh size = 10 microns
   2. Filter mesh material = polyester or similar corrosion resistant material
2. Supports = 316L stainless steel construction
3. Anchor Bolts = M12, 316L stainless steel
4. Disc Filter = 316L stainless steel construction; pickled and passivated in acid bath
