St. Lawrence County opens bids for mobile morgue to support public health department

Stephanie Carr, St. Lawrence County assistant purchasing agent, opened bids for an RFP to purchase and deliver a mobile morgue for the county public health department. County staff recorded three submissions and the accompanying non‑collusion documents but did not award a contract at the session.

The most complete offer came from Flexmort, which listed a 12‑body storage unit (Option A) at $25,595 and an 8‑body storage unit at $22,950, and included a signed non‑collusion page. DLX Enterprise submitted a bid for a 12‑body unit at $42,236 and did not bid on the 8‑body option; that submission also included a signed non‑collusion page. A third submission listed a 12‑body unit at $29,000 and no bid for the 8‑body option; when an attendee asked for the vendor name, the company was identified as Paladin and the filing included the required non‑collusion page.

Carr read the amounts aloud and logged the presence of signed non‑collusion statements for each bidder. The county did not announce a selection or next‑day award; procurement staff will review the bids and follow the county's evaluation and award process.

The bidding process recorded here applies to an RFP issued by St. Lawrence County; Carr did not specify a timeline for evaluation or award during the session. The purchasing office will review the submissions and notify bidders of the outcome according to standard county procurement procedures.
