Explanation
Columbus Public Health has applied for a grant from the Ohio Department of Health to fund the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program for the period of October 1, 2012, through September 30, 2013. The grant funds awarded will provide for a janitorial service contract for an amount not to exceed $22,537.68. Solicitation SA004535 was bid on the City's vendor services website. An evaluation of all bids received was performed and it was determined that United Family Cleaning Service was the lowest, most responsive and responsible bidder. The contract compliance number for United Family Cleaning Service is 27-4478613. United Family Cleaning Service is contract compliant through March, 26, 2014.
This contract was awarded in compliance with Section 329.11 of the Columbus City Code.
This ordinance is submitted as an emergency so as 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.
FISCAL IMPACT: Because the new WIC program is for the period of October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013, appropriation cannot be created until Columbus Public Health receives the Notice of Award from the Ohio Department of Health. Therefore, it is necessary to fund the WIC cleaning contract within the Health Special Revenue Fund. The Health Special Revenue Fund will be reimbursed for the expense upon receipt of the Notice of Award from the Ohio Department of Health.
