(OP)
Will specifying flexible neoprene boots on the stub out be sufficient? I am concerned about settlement of the existing pipe once the new FRP manhole is installed and backfilled. Anyone have any thoughts on this one?
Also, how to support the existng clay pipe during installation of FRP manhole???
Thanks!

Make sure the FRP MH is available in Doghouse. If it is not, the cost savings on installation may well justify a concrete manhole.
Suppport will be an issue, though, as clay pipe (I think) is 4 or 5 foot sections. But, if you go with a poured base, you could just have a leadered note on the detail showing brick blocking under ex. VCP.
