DCI-DChicago-Mortuary Services-SLB

The State of Illinois, through the Illinois State Police (ISP), is procuring mortuary services for the jurisdictions of Cook County and the City of Chicago. The successful vendor must be a licensed Funeral Director, respond to calls for service 24/7, and arrive at the scene within 60 minutes to remove and transport deceased persons to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office. The vendor must comply with Illinois administrative code requirements for the transportation and disposition of deceased persons, and their drivers must have valid licenses. The vendor will not be billed separately for consumables like the coroner bag, as these costs are included in the bid price. The contract opportunity does not provide specific details on the quantities, response dates, award dates, or contract term.

The contract is subject to the State of Illinois Standard Terms and Conditions, which outline payment terms, assignment and subcontracting requirements, audit and record retention policies, performance expectations, indemnification, insurance, and other legal provisions. Contractors must also comply with COVID-19 protection requirements, including the use of face coverings, COVID-19 vaccinations, or COVID-19 testing when working in certain facilities. The contract opportunity does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, nor does it list any incumbent vendors or provide information on award values or budget ranges.
