When a utility, engineering firm, contractor or industrial company has a need for underwater contractors Vancouver area, how should it go about it? There are a number of factors to consider and questions to answer when issuing a request for services.
How do you assure yourself that you’re contracting with a capable and responsible firm, minimizing your risk exposure, and getting maximum value for the dollar expended? Will you strictly be awarding contracts on the basis of low bid or on the appropriate bid which maximizes productivity and keeps you out of trouble? What regulations should be identified as governing? What insurance requirements should be applied?

“Employing the right underwater contractors Vancouver has, can reduce legal and criminal liability exposure in case of accidents.”

Purchasing agents, engineers, and project management personnel who have had little experience in contracting for such services frequently are led down the garden path by slick talk, by a lack of knowledge of regulations in effect, and by the mistaken belief that the easier (cheaper) way out is the most intelligent. Just because a particular contractor has furnished prior services does not mean that he did so in a responsible and safe manner.

You are no doubt often faced with bids received from local recreational diving shops, from individual SCUBA divers, fly by night pseudo diving companies or from persons who claim commercial diver certification because they hold a recreational certification card from organizations such as PADI (Professional Assn. of Diving Instructors), NAUI (National Assn. of Diving Instructors), YMCA, or others. There is a difference!
