Title: To authorize and direct the Board of Health to modify and increase an existing contract for Laboratory Testing and Diagnostic Services for HIV care patients with the James Cancer Hospital; to authorize the expenditure of $9,696.00 from the Health Department Grants Fund; and to declare an emergency. ($9,696.00)
Explanation

Ordinance number 0761-2013, approved by City Council on April 1, 2013, authorized the Board of Health to enter into a contract with The Ohio State University, James Cancer Hospital in the amount of $1,114.00 to provide Laboratory Testing and Diagnostic Services 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 April 1, 2013 through February 28, 2014.

During the contract period it has been determined that this vendor requires additional funding to continue to provide Laboratory Services to HIV Care clients.

This modification will increase the amount of the contract; other contract terms will remain the same. 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 2...
