Explanation
The purpose of this ordinance is to repeal ordinance 1580-2014 in order to increase funding authorized for modification 1 and to clarify the usage of the funding authorized for contract modification number 1.
Ordinance number 0529-2014, approved by City Council on March 24, 2014, authorized the Board of Health to enter into a contract with Nationwide Children's Hospital in the amount of $77,400.00 to assure quality medical care to eligible persons living with HIV or AIDS in central Ohio (Franklin, Licking, Delaware, Morrow, Union, Madison, Pickaway and Fairfield counties) for the contract period of March 1, 2014 through February 28, 2015.
Ordinance 1580-2014, passed by City Council on July 14, 2014 authorized funding in the amount of $77,400.00 for Outpatient Ambulatory Services and development of a quality management plan for HIV Care. After passage of the ordinance and before the modification was executed it was determined that additional funding was necessary for outpatient ambulatory and medical case management services and the amount required for these services was $169,394.00. This ordinance repeals ordinance 1580-2014 and authorizes modification number one for the purpose of providing outpatient ambulatory and medical case management services in the amount of $169,394.00.
This modification is necessary because the total grant award was not known until the end of May, making it necessary to add additional funding in a later ordinance. The modification amount was determined based on negotiations with the vendor and data from the previous year.
The contract compliance number and expiration dates for this provider are:
Nationwide Children's Hospital - 316056230 - n/a.
This ordinance is submitted as an emergency to ensure sufficient funding is available to provide quality medical care to eligible persons living with HIV/AIDS, and to ensure timely payment to this provider.
FISCAL IMPACT
This ordinance will cancel AC036662 and authorize the funding for contract modification 1 in the amount of $169,394.00. This funding is budgeted and available within the Health Department Grants Fund.
