Explanation

BACKGROUND: Ordinance 0463-2008 authorized the Board of Health to enter into a contract with Access 2 Interpreters in the amount of $100,000 for the provision of interpretation and written translation services for the period January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. Ordinance 1332-2008 increased contract EL007926 with Access 2 Interpreters in the amount of $15,241.94 for a total contract not to exceed $115,241.94. This ordinance is needed to increase contract EL008701 in the amount of $102,800 for a total contract amount not to exceed $218,041.94 with Access 2 Interpreters. This modification is needed to meet demand for translation/interpretation services which has been higher than anticipated. Access 2 Interpreters Federal ID number is 760803722. The contract compliance expires July 28, 2010.

Emergency action is requested in order to avoid a delay in providing client services.

FISCAL IMPACT: The funds needed to modify and increase this contract are budgeted in the Health Department Special Revenue Fund, Fund 250, under the Minority Health Program (OCA 502062).
