Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Franklin County Municipal Court Judges entered into a contract with Asist Translation Services, Inc. effective February 1, 2005, for the fourth year of a four-year contract to provide language interpreter services to the Court under the authority of ordinance number 0185-2005 passed by City Council on February 7, 2005. On December 11, 2005 a sixty-day extension of the contract was passed by City Council (ordinance number 2131-2005) in order to permit the Court time to draft specifications for the re-bid of language interpreter services. Ordinance number 0501-2006 which passed March 13, 2006 authorized the Court to extend services under the original terms of the contract through November 30, 2006. Due to the complexity of the services being provided, the Court still finds it needs more time to complete the specification drafting and bid processes.

This legislation authorizes the Administrative and Presiding Judge of the Franklin County Municipal Court to enter into contract with Asist Translation Services through May 31, 2007.

CONTRACT COMPLIANCE NUMBER: Asist Translation Services 36-3249287

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this contract are budgeted and available within the Municipal Court Judges 2006 general fund appropriations. Thus far in 2006, the Court has expended $65,259.50 with Asist. During 2005, the Court expended $106,457.50 with Asist; during 2004, the Court expended $99,860.00.

EMERGENCY: This ordinance is submitted as an emergency to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the city's accounting system as soon as possible. Up-to-date financial posting promotes accurate accounting and financial management.
