Explanation
Ordinance number 1410-2013, approved by City Council on July 1, 2013, authorized the Board of Health to enter into a contract with AIDS Resource Center Ohio Medical Center in the amount of $70,000.00 to assure quality medical care to 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 May 1, 2013 through February 28, 2014. Ordinance 2466-2013 authorized a modification to this contract to increase funding by $130,000.00 for the provision of HIV-related somatic medical care.
This ordinance is needed to further modify and increase contract EL014796 in the amount of $120,000.00 for the total contract amount not to exceed $320,000.00 with AIDS Resource Center Ohio Medical Center.
This modification is needed to provide additional funding for AIDS Resource Center Ohio Medical Center for the provision of HIV-related somatic medical care 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 (SA004818) in February, 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. This additional funding need was not able to be foreseen because of the higher than expected patient volume for this vendor. 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 AIDS Resource Center Ohio Medical Center is 800813109.
Emergency action is requested to provide for this contract modification in order to ensure timely payments to the Contractor.
