Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Board of Health has a need to make funds
available to increase a contract with JABR Software. The Columbus Health
Department has been awarded an additional $125,000 for a two month
extension of the Healthy Start grant, ending July 31, 2006. The grant funds
will provide for an increased contract with JABR Software to enhance the
current appointment system to make it a web based platform. JABR
Software will also work with Evaluation Team on screen designs, and
ongoing technical support. The contract increase will be in an amount not to
exceed $3,525 for a total contract not to exceed $36,640. This ordinance
waives competitive bidding provisions of the City Code.

Emergency action is required to ensure the continued operation of the
Healthy Start Program.

FISCAL IMPACT: This contract is entirely funded by a grant from the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The program does not
generate revenue or require a City match. The monies are budgeted in the
2006 Health Department Grants Fund.
