When the county Medical Examiner is unavailable, the contractor may also transport decedents to and from the Onondaga County Medical Examiner's Office, Guthrie Lourdes Hospital in Binghamton, or another designated institution. Proposals must include a statement of qualifications, staff information and resumes, a current New York State funeral director's license, and at least three references. Pricing is requested per removal within the county, per loaded mile outside the county, and for waiting time. The initial term is three years, with two possible one-year renewals.
