Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program has a need to provide language interpretation and written translation services for persons with limited English proficiency who receive services at the Health Department WIC clinics. Solicitation SA002788 was bid on the City's vendor services website. An evaluation of all bids received was performed and it was determined that Access 2 Interpreters, LLC was the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. This is the second year of a contract with the option to renew for up to five years. The contract period is October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010, for a contract amount not to exceed $35,000.

The contract compliance with Access 2 Interpreters, LLC expires July 28, 2010. Their contract compliance number is 760803722.

This contract was awarded in compliance with Section 329.11 of the Columbus City Code.

Emergency action is requested in order to avoid any delays in providing program services.


FISCAL IMPACT: The Women, Infants and Children Program is entirely funded by the Ohio Department of Health. This program does not generate any revenue or require a City match.
