Yes, in regards to overheating, which is not required on motors that don't need overload protection. (28-314 / 28-318 / 28-302) Am I missing something?

thermistors are part of the windings they are meant only to shut down the motor so that it doesnt overheat and burn

Unless the Electrical Engineer on the jobs askes for it and, of course, you haven't put that into your estimate! Heck he'll probably ask for a NEMA 4 enclosure, hand/off/auto, push button off/on, and a min. of 1 1/4" EMT conduit feeding it! (crazy yes, you never know with EE)
