Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department has a need to make funds available for a contract with
The Ohio State University (OSU). This ordinance authorizes the Board of Health to enter into a contract with
OSU to provide emergency preparedness workforce development services. These services will be provided by
a professor with experience in public health education and applied public health from the OSU College of
Public Health.

provisions of competitive bidding are waived.

Emergency action is required to avoid any breaks in needed services.

As a State of Ohio entity, The Ohio State University College of Public Health is exempt from Contract Compliance requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT: These monies are budgeted within the Health Department Grants Fund budget, Fund No.
251.
