Carbon County has new vendor for death records

Carbon County has a new vendor for its death records.

The county commissioners on Thursday approved a software license agreement with Quincy Technology Solutions Inc. of New Haven, Connecticut, for software and training to access and use the object code of the software and documentation for death records. The cost is $1,700 for 18 months, ending Dec. 31, 2018. It will be funded through the Coroner's Vital Statistics funds.Chief Deputy Gerald Jones said that the county has received some of the downloads of its files from eCedent LLC, the company that had hired the electronic death records for Carbon over the past nine years.He added that the final download of files should be received in August and then all files could be transferred over to Quincy.The county was forced to scramble to retrieve its files from eCedent after receiving a termination notice that the private storage company is going out of business, effective July 31.The commissioners agreed to pay $2,500 for its death record files on July 6 after speaking with the company about its options.Initially, the cost for a bulk download was $1,500, but the commissioners learned that the electronic database would not transfer to a new vendor. It will now do so without any issue, the company said.There are more than 1,500 files in the system that Carbon will receive.
