After fermentiing a Steam Beer minimum 2 weeks I plan to rack to 2ndry. Then, after the minimum 2 weeks in primary and additional 2 weeks in 2ndry I plan to re-rack to another container holding dissolved charging sugar (corn sugar). Then bottle immediately. Besides for proper sanitation are there any suggestions? ANy ideas that will improve clarity or quality? Comments? Thanks
The longer you let it sit in secondary, the clearer it will be. Also, after the bottles carbonate, store them as long as possible in as cool an environment as possible (40's) this will cause the remaining yeast to drop to the bottom of the bottle. Pouring carefully into a glass will leave that sediment in the bottle and you should have a perfectly clear glass of beer (assuming your recipe and processes were okay).

Also, The colder you keep the secondary, the better the beer will clear. Cold storage causes solids to floculate. Steve W (in Aus)
