DHS SP - FY20 State Burial Services - Shapiro

Shapiro Center is seeking a multi-year contract for burial and cremation services to be provided to the state of Illinois. The contract term is approximately 60 months, beginning on July 1, 2019. The selected vendor will be responsible for providing full burial services, including the removal of remains, embalming, casket and concrete vault, transportation, and coordination with Shapiro Center's Records Office for necessary documentation. The vendor must comply with all applicable local, state, and federal codes, standards, laws, and regulations. Shapiro Center's Chief Engineer/designee will serve as the contract monitor, and the vendor must complete billing per the contract specifications within 30 days. The vendor will be responsible for providing a cemetery lot within a 25-mile radius of Shapiro Center and for the installation of a grave marker for each deceased individual covered under the contract. No vendor travel expenses will be paid by Shapiro Center unless an unusual situation occurs, which would require review and approval by the Fiscal Services Director.
