Jetting is mainly done during the spring, summer and fall time of the year and <br /> during this procedure, it is sometimes necessary to enter a manhole to remove debris. <br /> Since entering a manhole is a confined space, the tripod equipment is an important <br /> safety feature for the people involved. The three bids received were: <br /> Elvin Safety Supply Inc. $2,238.65 <br /> Continental Safety Equipment 2,428.08 <br /> Viking Safety Products 1,202.20 <br /> Staff recommends purchasing the equipment from Viking Safety due to their <br /> commitment to quality products and service. <br /> ATTACHMENT A.
