Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Finance and Management to modify a contract with Booth Management Consulting, LLC to expand subrecipient monitoring professional services, as well as technical assistance, and training, and to extend the term of the contract. The City of Columbus receives millions of dollars annually from the United States Government in the form of federal grants. The grants fund various programs and projects. Periodically, the City partners with third parties to execute program or project scopes. These third parties are considered subrecipients of federal funds and execute subaward agreements with the City. When the City issues a subaward to a subrecipient to carry out part of a federal program, the City is required by 2 CFR Part 200.332 to ensure subrecipients comply with applicable federal laws and regulations and with the provisions of each subaward agreement.
The City of Columbus utilized a Request for Proposals (RFP) process to identify and assess qualified Certified Public Accounting (CPA) firms to provide subrecipient monitoring professional services. Proposals were submitted in response to RFQ020261 in accordance with the relevant provisions of Chapter 329 of the Columbus City Codes, and Booth Management Consulting, LLC received the highest overall score from the RFP committee. Ordinance 0197-2022 authorized the Director of Finance and Management to enter into contract with Booth Management Consulting for the period March 9, 2022 to January 23, 2023, with the option to extend on a year to year basis for up to an additional three years. The Department of Finance and Management is seeking authority to extend the term of the contract.
