Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department operates the Ben Franklin Tuberculosis Clinic under a grant received from Franklin County. Radiology services are necessary to provide preliminary screenings of x-rays for patients. In December, 2008, a request for proposals for radiology services for a three-year period was advertised via Vendor Services (SA003132). Ohio Health was the only vendor to submit a bid for these services. Ohio Health was awarded to perform x-rays on adults for a fee of $58.06 per two-view x-ray (PA and lateral). Ohio Health's contract compliance number is 31-4394942. Ohio Health is a nonprofit organization and is exempt from certification. This ordinance will award the second year of a three-year contract to Ohio Health for the provision of radiology services, for the period of February 1, 2010 through January 31, 2011. Emergency action is requested to ensure continued services for T.B. patients.
FISCAL IMPACT: All expenditures from this contract will be fully reimbursed by a grant received from Franklin County for the TB Clinic and is budgeted in the Health Department Grants Fund. This ordinance is contingent upon the passage of Ordinance No. 0035-2010.
