Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Board of Health to modify an existing contract with OSS Ohio Holdings, LLC., for security services at Columbus Public Health, for the period March 1, 2024 to February 29, 2025, in an amount not to exceed $10,000.00 for a new total contract amount of $475,000.00. This modification is necessary due to increased hours and pay rates of all levels of security officers. (1) the amount of additional funds to be expended under the modification: $10,000.00; (2) why the need for additional goods or services could not be foreseen at the time the contract was initially awarded: we estimate a total contract amount to the best of ability, outside factors affect that such as officers at various pay rates, OT costs for events, etc.; (3) why it would not be in the city's best interests to have the additional contract requirements awarded through other procurement processes specified in this chapter: OSS Ohio Holdings is our current awarded security vendor, these are not new services, just additional funds needed; and (4) how the price for the additional goods or services which are the subject of the modification was determined: by bidding documents and security officer payroll costs.
The contract compliance number for OSS Ohio Holdings, LLC., is CC-044219 and is valid through 2/1/2025. This ordinance is submitted as an emergency in order to avoid a break in the delivery of these needed security services.
FISCAL IMPACT: $10,000.00 is budgeted and available within the Health Special Revenue Fund to meet the financial obligation of this contract modification. PO436000 authorizes $465,000.00 for these security services. With this modification, the contract amount will be $475,000.00.
