Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Office of CelebrateOne has been awarded a grant from the Ohio Department of Health via the federal Department of Health and Human Services/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $200,000.00 in grant monies to fund the Ohio Health Improvement Zones Pilot Project for the period July 1, 2022 through May 31, 2023.

The Ohio Health Improvement Zones Pilot Project will work to improve infant mortality in this area by addressing health care access and quality as well as the social and community context. CelebrateOne is committed to developing/designing a connected and consistent care experience for mothers, babies, and families utilizing public-private partnerships to implement safe, place-based, culturally appropriate resources centers to enhance access to healthcare and promote healthy behaviors, reduce racial disparities in infant mortality, and set families up to thrive. This funding will support the creation of the first CelebrateOne Maternal Infant Health Community Innovation Hub (CIH).

The target area represents Columbus’ Eastland and Blacklick Estates neighborhoods within the 43232 zip code. The zip code in which the target census tracks are located has been identified as an overlapping hotspot for infant mortality, emergency room visits, drug overdose deaths, and Narcan administration.

This ordinance will allow CelebrateOne and the City of Columbus to establish a contract with Dwight L Holley, dba K Holley Consulting, Inc. for $90,000.00 for community engagement and outreach within the census tracts in the 43232 postal code area. It is in the City's best interests to waive the competitive bidding requirements to enter into this contract.



Vendor Information: Dwight L Holley dba K Holley Consulting, Inc., Vendor Number 043520, contract compliance expires 11/1/2024.
