Explanation
Need: The Civil Service Commission needs to modify the contract and increase the maximum authorized expenditure in the contract with The Ohio State University for pre-employment physicals and cardiovascular stress testing of public safety recruits in preparation for future Police and Fire Academy classes.
Bid Information: In 2007, the City of Columbus Civil Service Commission published a Request for Proposals (SA002707) for these services and accepted proposals through December 13, 2007. Four proposals were submitted, an evaluation committee reviewed these proposals, and the Commission selected The Ohio State University.
Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is requested in order to allow sufficient time for the Divisions of Police and Fire to process public safety recruits, provide notice to applicants, and schedule medical appointments.
Contract Compliance Number: 31-6025986, governmental agency, no expiration date.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this service was not specifically budgeted in the Civil Service Commission's general fund budget. However, some funds exist to accommodate this expense. A transfer of funds within the general fund from the Department of Public Safety, Director's Office to the Civil Service Commission's budget will facilitate the remainder needed.
