Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department was awarded $966,934 in grant monies from the Ohio
Department of Health, Centers for Disease Control for the 2006 Public Health Infrastructure program. Of this
award, the Franklin County Board of Health received a $259,685 contract. The Columbus Health Department
has been awarded additional grant funds from the Ohio Department of Health for the Public Health Infrastructure grant program in the amount of $235,349. This ordinance is needed to modify a contract with the Franklin County Board of Health for $82,765 for the time period ending August 30, 2006. This contract modification will allow for pandemic influenza planning in Franklin County.

Why couldn't the need for the additional services be foreseen when the contract was originally awarded? The Grantor has just made the additional monies available.

Why would it not be in the City's best interest to have the additional contract requirement awarded through competitive bidding? The contract is being awarded in accordance with the requirements of the Ohio Department of Health, i.e., it is population based and the Franklin County Board of Health is specified by the Ohio Department of Health to receive these monies.

How was the price for the additional goods or services determined? Columbus Health Department personnel along with Franklin County Board of Health personnel determined the dollars to be allocated in the central Ohio region to fund the pandemic influenza planning deliverable now required by the Ohio Department of Health.

The contract is to be modified as follows:

Franklin Co. BOH $259,685.00 $82,765.00 $342,450.00


Emergency action is requested to provide for this contract modification so the pandemic influenza planning services can be ...
