Explanation
In April of 2006, the Facilities Management Division, through a contract with HKI and Associates, began investigating water penetration issues at the John Maloney Health Center. During the course of this investigation, significant problems were identified within the core structure of the facility. Due to the extent of these problems, it was determined that repairing the facility was cost prohibitive. After inspections by the Building Services Division, it was determined that the building should be vacated. The facility was vacated in late August. Demolition of the health center, which housed the Columbus Neighborhood Health Centers, Inc. (CNHC), began on September 25, 2006. CNHC temporarily relocated services to other facilities in the system until a new leased space could be identified. Leased space has been identified within the Great Southern Shopping Center, located at 3781 Great Southern Boulavard. This ordinance authorizes the transfer of $375,000 from Emergency Human Services Fund and $58,480 from Finance and Management's citywide account to the Health Department to pay for tenant improvements necessary to construct approximately 7,000 square feet of clinic space. The purpose of this transfer is to fund the tenant improvement expenses of CNHC, Inc. by modifying and increasing the contract between CNHC, Inc. and the Health Department. Paying these costs up front will result in lower annual rent payments over the term of the lease.
Emergency action is requested to ensure needed funds for the modification and increase of a contract with CNHC, Inc., will be immediately available.
CNHC, Inc. Contract Compliance number is 31-1533908.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is available within the Emergency Human Services fund and Finance and Management's citywide account to cover these unplanned lease expenses.
