About this file

This document is an Exhibit of Specifications for an Answering Service contract with the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office (OCME), covering death notification call center services. The specifications outline requirements for a supplier to provide after-hours phone coverage for two regional offices - the Central Office in Oklahoma City and the Eastern Office in Tulsa - serving specific Oklahoma counties and districts. The service must rapidly gather and relay death notification information within 5 minutes to on-call investigators, with coverage during non-operational hours (evenings, weekends, and state holidays) and potential emergency coverage during regular business hours.

The contract requires the call center supplier to develop a detailed training program for personnel, create a specific script for collecting death notification information, and ensure strict confidentiality through non-disclosure agreements. Call operators must log detailed call records, transmit shift records to the Central Office, and follow Privacy Act procedures. The attached district map shows the geographic coverage areas, which include multiple counties divided into numbered districts across Oklahoma. Key operational requirements include maintaining two main phone lines, providing immediate investigator notification, and having a backup plan for system failures or communication difficulties.
