Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department operates the Ben Franklin Tuberculosis Clinic under a grant received from the Franklin County Board of Commissioners. Pharmacist services are necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy. Needed services include: oversight of the storage, inventory, and ordering of stock medications; patient chart review and patient education; staff training and assisting the T.B. physician. A request for proposals for a three-year period was advertised on Vendor Services via SA003805. A bid proposal was received from three vendors - Pharmacy People, Locum Tenens.com, and RPh On the Go. The proposal from Pharmacy People was the lowest and most responsive bid, therefore, this ordinance will award a six month contract to Pharmacy People, Inc. The fee proposed is $65.55 per hour for a pharmacist and $17.25 per hour for a pharmacy technician. The contract compliance number for Pharmacy People is 311201354 and is effective through 12/16/2011.

Emergency action is requested to ensure prompt payment for services provided by the contractor.

FISCAL IMPACT: All expenditures from this contract will be fully reimbursed by the grant received from Franklin County for the TB Clinic.
