Explanation
BACKGROUND: In October, 2004, the Columbus Health Department was awarded a grant from the US Agency for Housing and Urban Development to implement the HUD Healthy Homes Demonstration Program. The goal of this Program was to demonstrate cost effective, sustainable, preventive measures to reduce injury and morbidity from preventable housing-related health and safety hazards associated with asthma, lead paint, and unintentional injuries in the home environment for those most at risk. The services offered through the Healthy Homes Program included physical intervention services, such as specialized allergen and lead dust cleaning, material installation, home repairs, and mold remediation in single and multi-family dwellings in the City of Columbus. Through the competitive bidding process in 2005 (SA001732 dated 7/26/05), HECO Operations, dba SERVPRO of N.E. Columbus was selected as the contractor to perform all physical intervention services. At the end of the grant period of the HUD Healthy Homes Demonstration Program, a large amount of physical intervention activity took place that included a number of costly projects. This ordinance authorizes the Health Department to enter into a contract with HECO Operations in the amount of $28,753 to pay the final invoices for the intervention services provided at the conclusion of this program.
Emergency action is requested to assure the timely payment of the final invoices for these services. The contract compliance number for HECO Operations is 311017776, which is effective through July 25, 2008.
FISCAL IMPACT: All expenditures from this contract will be fully reimbursed by the Healthy Homes Demonstration Program funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
