Default basement sink install

I'm considering having a utility sink and an old dishwasher hooked up
in my basement. The plan would be to use an above ground sump and pump
to move the water up 4-5 ft to my main sewage line. A contractor tells
me a special pump is required to handle the heat of dishwasher water.
Here are my questions:

1.) Is this true?
2.) What temperature should the pump be rated for? The model he is
considering is a WaterAce R930 which is rated for 140 degrees F
3.) Is this something that a licenced plumber needs to do?

Thanks,
RD
