Explanation
Ordinance number 0569-2014, approved by City Council on March 24, 2014, authorized the Board of Health to enter into a contract with Nationwide Children’s Hospital in the amount of $120,808.00 for Behavioral Health Services for eligible persons living with HIV or AIDS in central Ohio (Franklin, Licking, Delaware, Morrow, Union, Madison, Pickaway and Fairfield counties) for the contract period of March 1, 2014 through February 28, 2015.
This ordinance is needed to modify and increase contract EL015627 in the amount of $24,731.00, for the total contract amount with Nationwide Children's Hospital not to exceed $145,539.00.
This modification is needed to provide additional funding for Nationwide Children’s Hospital for the provision of Behavioral Health Services to persons living with HIV or AIDS in Delaware, Fairfield, Franklin, Licking, Madison, Morrow, Pickaway, and Union counties. These services were advertised through vendor services (SA005218) in December, 2013 according to bidding requirements of the City Code.
This modification will increase the amount of the contract; other contract terms will remain the same. At the time of contract award, the full amount of the grant award was not known so a partial award was given to Nationwide Children’s Hospital. The modification amount was determined based on negotiations with the vendor. This ordinance will provide anticipated funding for the remainder of the contract period and it would be manifestly impractical to bid this contract for the remainder of the grant period ending February 28, 2014.
The contract compliance number for Nationwide Children’s Hospital is 316056230 and expires 6/11/15.
Emergency action is requested to provide for this contract modification in order to ensure timely payments to the Contractor.
FISCAL IMPACT: The funds needed to modify and increase this contract with Nationwide Children’s Hospital are budgeted within the Health Department Grants Fund.
