Alderman Ed Burke, of the 14th Ward and the chairman of the Finance Committee, plans to conduct hearings on the city contract with GSSP Enterprise Inc., which the city has paid $7.2 million since the start of its current five-year contract in September 2006. In Dayton, Ohio, where the company is based, it only receives $75 a body, Burke said.
Chicago now pays $915 per body for dead body transport versus $200 previously

The December 2006 article that is embedded also sheds a lot of light on what kind of operation GSSP is running.
Followers of our monthly City Council discussion/parties saw this bizarre little factoid come up again and again - http://bit.ly/cWRgX
At yesterday's meeting I remember an alderman saying he brought up this cost issue years ago, it seems that this has only been around for a few years though.
Probably since the 2006 contract.
