Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Board of Health to modify an existing contract for providing sexual health outreach campaign services relevant to the 2026-2027 ODH EHE grant in an amount not to exceed $100,000.00.
The existing contract with Knupp & Watson & Wallman Inc (KW2), entered on October 28, 2026, through May 31, 2027, and passed via ORD 2180-2026, will be modified by increasing the contract in an amount not to exceed $100,000.00 for a new contract amount of $200,000.00.
This contract modification is fully funded by the 2026-2027 ODH EHE grant G502634. The contract update is necessary because the 2026-2027 ODH EHE grant just received additional funding with the requirement that the additional funds must be spent on providing sexual health outreach campaign services related to the current contract with KW2.
The price of the contract modification was determined by the current contract and RFP. It would not be in the city's best interests to have the additional contract requirements awarded through other procurement processes because it has already been procured through an RFP. KW2 was competitively bid through vendor services (RFQ029075) and Bonfire (Sexual Health Outreach Campaigns) in October 2024, according to bidding requirements of the City Code. The RFP covers a 36-month period from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2028.
FISCAL IMPACT Expenditures to provide these services are budgeted in the 2026-2027 ODH EHE Grant, G502634. ($100,000.00)
