Explanation
Need: The Columbus Health Department has a need to update the facility signage at 240 Parsons Avenue because of the name change to Columbus Public Health. On October 3, 2008, Solicitation No. SO030109 was placed on the City of Columbus Vendor Services website for three days. All vendors registered with the City for sign fabrication services were solicited for bids. The solicitation stated that Columbus Public Health is seeking bids for the immediate purchase and installation of new facility signage at 240 Parsons Avenue.
Hanover Signs, Inc., a local, white male-owned business, was the only bidder. Their contract compliance number is 311329510 and expires on October 1, 2010. This capital construction service contract is being awarded to Hanover Signs, Inc., in the amount of $881 as the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder in accordance with Section 329.08 of the Columbus City Code.

Fiscal Impact: Monies are available for this purchase within the Voted 1999, 2004 Health Department Bonds Fund, Fund No. 706, and are provided for in the 2008 Capital Improvements Budget.
