Explanation

BACKGROUND: The City of Columbus has been awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the Lead Safe Columbus Program. Columbus Public Health is a partner in Lead Safe Columbus. Columbus Public Health will employ a successfully demonstrated and recognized lead program that utilizes real-time environmental monitoring techniques to assist tenants and property owners in the City of Columbus to make educated and timely decisions about lead poisoning hazards. The environmental monitoring portion of this program includes testing for lead paint. This ordinance authorizes the Director of Finance to establish a purchase order with RMD Instruments in the amount of $27,150 for the purchase of two (2) LPA-1 Lead Paint Spectrum Analyzers for the purpose of testing for lead paint hazards. RMD Instruments is the sole manufacturer of the RMD LPA-1 Lead Paint Spectrum Analyzers. The contract compliance number for RMD Instruments is 262897356 and is effective through 9/22/2011.

This ordinance is submitted as an emergency to ensure the lead paint analyzers are available for the timely use of the Columbus Public Health Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program.
