d. Create a second design costs table. (You can duplicate the table you just
created and delete the row for 0 diameter.) This table is the same as the first
one except it does not have a pipe diameter of 0 and is used for new pipes.
New pipes must have a minimum diameter because their existence is a
requirement, unlike the parallel pipes.

11. Create a single rehabilitation option groups table containing three actions: Clean,
Relining, and Do Nothing. A do-nothing action is necessary so Darwin Designer
can consider not rehabilitating some pipes. Each of these actions must reference
three functions, one for each column in the table.
