Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Board of Health has been awarded grant funds from the Ohio Department of Health to fund the Child and Family Health Services (CFHS) Women's Health Services program for the period July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. The Health Department has a need to make funds available for the CFHS program to provide for child and adolescent services from the Council on Healthy Mothers and Babies.

Council on Healthy Mothers and Babies will provide staffing for ongoing activities to address the prenatal care capacity crisis in Franklin County, including staffing and support to community meetings and committee work, and assessing system capacity among providers who serve un- and underinsured women including Medicaid eligible women. Council will also provide staffing to ongoing community group addressing SIDS risk reduction and safe sleep and provide for materials for educating the community.

These services were advertised on the City's website (SA001950) and the Council on Healthy Mothers and Babies was the only submitted bid. This contract is for the third year of a three-year contract. The Council on Healthy Mothers and Babies' FID Number is 42-1546970. It is a non-profit organization and is therefore exempt from contract compliance.

Emergency action is requested in order to avoid any delays in providing program services.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this expenditure is provided with Grant Funds from the Ohio Department of Health in the amount of $25,000.
