The County seeks on-call personnel to assist its medical examiner with full and partial autopsies, external examinations, and related exam-room and morgue operations. Duties include preparing stations and decedents; supporting evisceration and other examination procedures; collecting, preserving, documenting, and transporting specimens and evidence; obtaining fingerprints, photographs, and digital radiography images; assisting with decedent receipt, movement, and release; and performing sanitation, housekeeping, and recordkeeping tasks. Personnel may also be required to provide factual testimony about work they personally performed or evidence they handled, but not expert opinions on cause or manner of death. Personnel must meet specified education and experience qualifications, including at least six months of autopsy assistance with direct involvement in evisceration, and be available on County workdays, weekends, and holidays between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., with emergency availability. The quote must include a technical narrative, responses to qualification and service-capability questions, two business references, a completed payment schedule, acceptance of or exceptions to the draft agreement, and any applicable confidentiality materials. The contract is anticipated to have a one-year initial term and four one-year options.
