County approves crematory repair contract for animal shelter; Burner & Crematory Services chosen
Summary
After reviewing three quotes, commissioners awarded a crematory repair contract to Burner & Crematory Services for $24,850, citing clarity of the bid and the vendor's prior installation of the unit.
The board approved repair work for the Therm‑Tec Model G‑12‑P crematory at the Pittsburg County Animal Shelter, awarding a contract to Burner & Crematory Services for $24,850. The board considered two higher quotes—FC Industries ($32,170) and Legacy Cremation Industries ($32,750)—and noted that Legacy's submission did not contain the required breakdown of services. Michele Van Pelt (county staff) told the board that the Burner & Crematory representative originally installed the unit and that the quote included demo and refractory work, gasket replacement and a $500 parts allowance.
By motion and unanimous vote, the board approved the Burner & Crematory Services quote and directed staff to proceed with contracting and scheduling the repair work. The motion was seconded and recorded as approved by all three commissioners.
