Explanation

Need: This ordinance is to authorize the Executive Director of the Civil Service Commission to modify and increase the maximum authorized expenditure in the contract with the Association for Psychotherapy, Inc. for psychological screening of public safety recruits in preparation for future Police and Fire Academy classes.

Bid Information: In 2008, the City of Columbus Civil Service Commission published a Request for Proposals (RFP) for these services and accepted proposals through May 8, 2008. Three proposals were submitted, an evaluation committee reviewed these proposals, and the Executive Director selected the Association for Psychotherapy, Inc.

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is requested in order to allow sufficient time for the Divisions of Police and Fire to process applicants, provide notice to applicants, and schedule psychological screening appointments.

Contract Compliance Number: 311441549, expires 9/15/2011.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this service was not specifically budgeted in the general fund. However, sufficient funds exist in the Director of the Department of Public Safety's 2010 budget. A transfer of funds within the general fund from the Department of Public Safety, Director's Office to the Civil Service Commission's budget will facilitate this expense.
