Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department operates the Ben Franklin Tuberculosis Clinic under a grant received from the Franklin County Board of Commissioners. Pharmacist services are necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy. Needed services include: oversight of the storage, inventory, and ordering of stock medications; patient chart review and patient education; staff training and assisting the T.B. physician. A request for proposals for these services was advertised in the city bulletin and was sent to the one known company offering this type of service. One proposal was received from Pharmacy People, Inc., who has provided quality services under a previous contract with the Health Department.

The fee proposed for the first year contract term is $57.00 per hour. The contract compliance number is 311201354.
Emergency action is requested to ensure prompt payment for services provided by the contractor.
FISCAL IMPACT: All expenditures from this contract will be fully reimbursed by the grant received from Franklin County for the TB Clinic.
