Explanation
BACKGROUND: Ordinance number 0862-2015, approved by City Council on April 20, 2015, authorized the Board of Health to enter into a contract with Nationwide Children’s Hospital in the amount of $271,162.00 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 March 1, 2015 through February 29, 2016.
This ordinance is needed to modify and increase contract EL017151 in the amount of $180,774.00 for the total contract amount not to exceed $451,936.00 with Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
This modification will provide additional funding for Nationwide Children’s Hospital for the provision of Outpatient Ambulatory and Medical Case Management services. These services were advertised through vendor services (SA005686) in December, 2014 according to bidding requirements of the City Code.
This modification is necessary because the supplemental grant award was not known until the end of May, making it necessary to add additional funding in a later ordinance. The modification amount was determined based on negotiations with the vendor and data from the previous year.
The contract compliance number for this provider is:
Nationwide Children’s Hospital - 316056230 - n/a.
This ordinance is submitted as an emergency to ensure sufficient funding is available to provide quality medical care to eligible persons living with HIV/AIDS, and to ensure timely payment to this provider.
FISCAL IMPACT: This contract is entirely funded by a grant award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration.
