Explanation
BACKGROUND: Columbus Public Health (CPH) has a need to contract for security officer services for their facilities. The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Board of Health to enter into a $584,000.00 contract with OSS Ohio Holdings, LLC., for security services for the period March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2025 and to modify the scope of services to include off-site WIC clinics. This is the fifth year of a five year contract.
A Request for Proposal (RFP), # RFQ013881 "Security Officer Services for Columbus Public Health," was publicly posted to the City of Columbus Vendor Services website from October 16, 2019 until November 18, 2019. All 46 companies registered with the City of Columbus under commodity code 99046 (Guard and Security Services) were notified of the RFP. A total of five companies submitted responses to the RFP. In conjunction with the professional consulting firm of Security Risk Management Consultants, the CPH evaluation committee unanimously recommended awarding the contract to OSS Ohio Holdings, LLC, (formerly Ohio Support Services, Corp.) as the lowest, responsive, responsible and best bidder under the provisions of City Code, Chapter 329.
The contract compliance number for OSS Ohio Holdings, LLC., is 921264009. This ordinance is submitted as an emergency in order to avoid a break in the delivery of these needed services.
FISCAL IMPACT: This Ordinance is contingent on the passage of the annual appropriation ordinance for the Health Special Revenue Fund, Ord. No. 3012-2023, which will partially provide funding for this contract.
