Explanation
The Human Resources Director requests to modify and extend the existing contract with the YMCA of Central Ohio to operate the Front Street Fitness Center for one year and to provide funding from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2022 for this program.
The city’s current contract with the YMCA requires them to execute the daily operations of the city’s employee fitness center and expires in January, 2021. The YMCA of Central Ohio has over 30 years of experience and a unique ability to engage city employees and their family members in wellness and physical activity.
The Human Resources Department is making this request primarily as a result of the lack of use at the Center resulting from the nation’s ongoing health crisis as well as the uncertainty of operational safety requirements once the center is fully open. The department plans to bid this contract out in 2021 for February 1, 2022 start date.
The maximum program fees for employee fitness center management services from February 1, 2021 through January 31, 2022 will not exceed $60,240.
EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: Emergency action is requested to ensure employee fitness center management services for city employees are able to commence as soon as contractually possible, thereby maintaining continuity of service.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is available from and within the 2021 Employee Benefits Fund for this contract. This ordinance is contingent on the passage of the 2021 insurance appropriation ordinance 0020-2021.
