The Council is weighing two rental contracts that would let any city department borrow trench safety shoring gear and pumping equipment when crews are digging or dealing with water on a job. The vendors are United Rentals and Sunbelt Rentals, with an initial two-year term and the option to extend up to two more years. The deal is capped at $522,000 split between the two companies; $50,000 is available now in departments' operating budgets, with the rest depending on future budgets.
