Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Board of Health has been awarded grant funds from the Ohio Department of Health to fund the Child and Family Health Services (CFHS) Women's Health Services Program for the period July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011. The Health Department has a need to make funds available for the CFHS program to provide for comprehensive pediatric care from Nationwide Children's Hospital.

Nationwide Children's Hospital has a continuous history of providing comprehensive pediatric care under the Child and Family Health Services Women's Health Services Program. Many of the children seen in the Women's Health Services program are indigent, uninsured and in need of a high level of pediatric care, and it is necessary that they be provided access to comprehensive pediatric care to insure optimal childhood development.

These services were advertised through the City's Vendor Services website (SA003308) and Nationwide Children's Hospital was the only submitted bid. This contract is for the second year of a five-year contract Nationwide Children's Hospital's FID Number is 31-4379441. It is a non-profit organization and is therefore exempt from contract compliance.

Emergency action is requested in order to avoid any delays in providing program services.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this expenditure is provided with Grant Funds from the Ohio Department of Health in the amount of $54,730.00.
