Explanation

BACKGROUND:   The Board of Health has a need to make funds

available to increase a contract with JABR Software.  The Columbus Health

Department has been awarded an additional $125,000 for a two month

extension of the Healthy Start grant, ending July 31, 2006.   The grant funds

will provide for an increased contract with JABR Software to enhance the

current appointment system to make it a web based platform.  JABR

Software will also work with Evaluation Team on screen designs, and

ongoing technical support. The contract increase will be in an amount not to

exceed $3,525 for a total contract not to exceed $36,640. This ordinance

waives competitive bidding provisions of the City Code.

Emergency action is required to ensure the continued operation of the

Healthy Start Program.

FISCAL IMPACT:  This contract is entirely funded by a grant from the

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.   The program does not

generate revenue or require a City match.  The monies are budgeted in the

2006 Health Department Grants Fund.

Title

To authorize the Board of Health to modify a contract with JABR Software to enhance the current appointment system for the Healthy Start grant program; to authorize the expenditure of $3,525 from the Health Department Grant Funds to pay the cost thereof, to waive the provisions of competitive bidding (See attachment ORD1261-2006bidwaiver.doc)and to declare an emergency, ($3,525)
