Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has been awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Office of Healthy Homes and Lead Hazard Control, to fund the Columbus Healthy Homes Project (CHHP). The goal of the CHHP grant is to demonstrate cost effective, sustainable, preventive measures to reduce injury and morbidity from preventable housing-related health and safety hazards associated with asthma, lead paint, and unintentional injuries in the home environment for those most at risk. To determine program effectiveness and outcomes, it is necessary for the Health Department to contract with a professional evaluator. A Request for Proposal for Evaluation Services for a three-year period (March 1, 2009 through March 31, 2012) was started in February, 2009 via Solicitation No. SA003201. Two bids were received. Luminesce Consulting, LLC bid $37,080.50 for the 3 year period, which was determined to be the lowest and most responsive bid. This ordinance will authorize the amount of $20,000 proposed for the first-year contract period March 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010.

The contract compliance number for Luminesce Consulting, LLC is 311637697, and is effective through December 12, 2009.

Emergency action is requested to allow for the timely start up of the evaluation services for the CHHP.

FISCAL IMPACT: This contract is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
