The City currently leases fifteen four -gas monitors and ten docking stations. The system is self-sufficient with minimal user interface, monitored and calibrated remotely, and includes technical support and equipment exchange/replacement. The City's current contract with i -Net has recently expired, as there are a limited number of vendors that provide similar computer based systems, staff contacted three such vendors for quotes, Airgas, Industrial Scientific (i -Net), and Mine Safety Appliances (MSA). The request was to quote a computer-based system, offering remote calibration and monitoring, training, similar 4 -gas monitoring, and replacement of leased equipment as needed. i -Net, the City's current provider, was the only vendor able to provide the requested equipment and services. The proposed price of $2,274.45 per month is essentially unchanged from our current contract. Their response includes 16 monitors, 10 docking stations, an upgraded "Cloud - based" computer management system (non -server style), operator training, and various support equipment such as regulators, powered air pumps, the exchange and change -out of our current equipment with the latest models of monitoring equipment with installation of the Ventis MX4 gas monitors. 24/7 and 365 day technical service and administrative reporting as previously stated. On February 18, 2015, the Finance Committee reviewed and recommended approval of this proposal to the City Council.
