    Additional Notes:

    STH has allowed 4 hours per pump/basin to perform start-up on the sump/sewage pumps. Please designate which system tag pump(s)/basin(s) you want started up:

    Can STH start all systems up on the same day?*

    You will be contacted by an STH Service/Account Representative on how the startup request will be scheduled. STH startup team is not responsible for wiring up panels.

    STH requires 10 working days’ notice to schedule a start‐up. STH has allowed 3 hours on-site to perform start‐up on the pump system between 6:30am – 3:30pm, Monday – Friday. Any requests outside of these times / dates will be an additional charge. This form must be completed before anything can be scheduled.

    If the Start Up is canceled without 24 hours’ notice, you will be invoiced a $500 Cancellation Fee. Delays caused by other trades are your responsibility and do not absolve you of paying the delay and / or Cancellation Fee. Please make your Field Supervisor aware of these requirements and charges so they are ready when we arrive.

    Please note: If STH arrives on site and the below listed items are not ready for start-up and STH has to be re-scheduled, the start-up will be deemed canceled and you will be invoiced a $500 Cancellation Fee. Any additional work during any start-up event beyond the standard scope will be invoiced at $129 per hour per Technician plus a $135 Travel Charge(Minimum $522) plus any materials needed.
