Commission approves renewal of mortuary transport contract after adding response‑time language
Summary
Jackson County approved a contract renewal with Mac/Mack Mortuary Transport to continue transport services; county counsel requested that response‑time expectations be included in the contract and staff confirmed the language was added before approval.
The Jackson County Commission approved renewal of the county’s contract with Mac/Mack Mortuary Transport to provide transport services, concluding a discussion about response‑time language the commission had requested at a prior meeting. The chair said the response‑time requirement was included in the new contract and that the company had agreed to the same performance timelines as in the previous bid package.
A commissioner asked whether the contract included penalties for missed response times; staff answered that there is no additional penalty beyond the normal contract remedies but that the key change was to make the timing language explicit in the contract rather than only in the bid package. The motion to approve the contract was seconded and carried by voice vote.
