RE: Are micropiles proprietary products?
As far as standard industry practice, I'm not sure. But when I've used them, I had our Geotechnical Engineer make recommendations, and we located and specified them. Leaving design details up to contractors is a dangerous game. All it does is delay arguments until the submittal phase.

Important questions need to be answered including - grout process, reinforcement lengths, uplift design, etc...
Geotech needs to address the question regarding the maximum potential unbraced length for the piles.
Although half the section of a micropile is steel, I've found that any lateral loads are best handled by battering.
