Explanation

BACKGROUND: Ordinance 0463-2008 authorized the Board of Health to enter into a contract with Access 2 Interpreters in the amount of $100,000 for the provision of interpretation and written translation services for the period January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. This ordinance is needed to increase contract EL007926 in the amount of $15,241.94 for a total contract amount not to exceed $115,241.94 with Access 2 Interpreters. This modification is needed to meet demand for translation/interpretation services which has been higher than anticipated. Access 2 Interpreters Federal ID number is 760803722. The contract compliance expires July 28, 2010.

Emergency action is requested in order to avoid a delay in providing client services.

FISCAL IMPACT: The funds needed to modify and increase this contract are budgeted in the Health Department Special Revenue Fund, Fund 250, under the Minority Health Program (OCA 502062).
