Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to establish a purchase order with Cribs for Kids for the purchase of baby safety survival kits which include portable cribettes and Safe Sleep materials needed by Columbus Public Health. On average, a baby dies every other week due to unsafe sleep practices in Franklin County. Columbus Public Health has a need to purchase baby safety survival kits to ensure a safe sleep environment for children of Franklin County. This purchase order will allow for the purchase of 230 baby safety survival kits. The purchase of the baby safety survival kits is also a grant requirement as part of the Franklin County Department of Job and Family Services (FCDJFS) Safe Sleep Grant.
Cribs for Kids, a not-for-profit agency, is the sole source of the Cribette baby safety survival kits. The Cribs for Kids® Exclusive Cribette unit meets all ASTM F-406, JPMA, and CPSIA safety standards. Columbus Public Health has an existing License Trade Agreement with Cribs for Kids. There is an immediate need to purchase the baby safety survival kits due to grant deliverable requirements. In 2017, 1,422 baby safety survival kits were distributed to caregivers of infants without a safe sleep surface.
Cribs for Kid’s contract compliance number is 25-1442806 and is effective through May 25, 2020.

This ordinance is submitted as an emergency to continue the work on the deliverables set forth by the FCDJFS grant and to continue to provide a safe sleep environment for children of Franklin County

FISCAL IMPACT: Monies for this purchase were budgeted in the Franklin County Department of Job and Family Services Grant in the Health Department Grants Fund.
