Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department operates the Ben Franklin Tuberculosis Clinic under a grant awarded from the Franklin County Board of Commissioners. In order to effectively manage patients with latent and active Tuberculosis, it is necessary to provide specialized physician services. A request for proposals for a three-year period was advertised via Vendor Services in December, 2008 (SA003133). Only one bid proposal was received. This ordinance will award a contract for six months of the third year of a three-year contract. This ordinance authorizes the Board of Health to enter into a contract with The Ohio State University - Division of Infectious Disease and Internal Medicine, acting through its practice plan, OSU Internal Medicine, LLC, in the amount of $26,000.00 for the period of February 1, 2011 through July 31, 2011. The contractor's contract compliance number is 311369596, however, this contractor is a nonprofit organization and is exempt from certification.

Emergency action is requested in order to provide continued specialized physician services for patients of the Tuberculosis Clinic.

FISCAL IMPACT: $26,000.00 is budgeted in the Health Department Grants Fund for physician services for the T.B. Clinic. Franklin County will reimburse all expenses under this contract.
