Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Columbus Health Department operates the Ben Franklin Tuberculosis Clinic under a grant received from Franklin County. Radiology services are necessary to provide preliminary screenings of x-rays for patients. In October, 2005, a request for proposals for radiology services for a three-year period was advertised in the City Bulletin (SA001800). A committee was established to evaluate the proposals, and it was decided to award contracts to both providers. The committee selected Ohio Health to perform x-rays on adults for a fee of $48.00 per two-view x-ray (PA and lateral). Children's Hospital was selected because of their expertise to perform x-rays on children. They are able to provide services at their single location for a fee of $77.00 per chest x-ray (both PA and Lateral views). Contract compliance numbers are: Ohio Health #31-4394942, and Children's Hospital #31-1439570. Both contractors are nonprofit organizations and are exempt from certification. This ordinance will award the second year of a three-year contract to Ohio Health and Children's Hospital. Emergency action is requested to ensure continued services for T.B. patients.

FISCAL IMPACT: All expenditures from this contract will be fully reimbursed by a grant received from Franklin County for the TB Clinic. $168,000 was budgeted for these services in 2006. In 2007, the amount of $135,000 is budgeted for x-ray services in the Health Department Grants Fund.
