We are working on a hospital project where the underground service pipe to the pump room was buried at 4 feet (1.2 m). Are we required to provide a concrete sleeve or any special concrete provisions to protect the HDPE pipe?

A10.4.3.1.2 NFPA 13,24 (2016) Sufficient Clearance should be provided when piping passes beneath foundations or footers.

It is a good practice to protect the pipes going underneath a building to avoid that ground motion (earthquake, settlement, downward movement after heavy rains...) may damage / break the pipe.
