Title: To authorize and direct the Board of Health to modify and increase an existing contract for HIV-related somatic medical care services with Briggs Road Medical Center; to authorize the expenditure of $5,000.00 from the Health Department Grants Fund; and to declare an emergency. ($5,000.00)
Explanation

Ordinance number 0761-2013, approved by City Council on April 1, 2013, authorized the Board of Health to enter into a contract with Briggs Road Medical Center in the amount of $4,425.00 to assure quality medical care to eligible persons living with HIV or AIDS in central Ohio (Franklin, Licking, Delaware, Morrow, Union, Madison, Pickaway and Fairfield counties) for the contract period of April 1, 2013 through February 28, 2014.

These services were advertised through vendor services (SA004818) in February, 2013 according to bidding requirements of the City Code. At the time of award the initial amount was determined based on anticipated need. During the contract period it has been determined that this vendor requires additional funding to continue to provide HIV Care Services to its clients. This modification will increase the amount of the contract, other contract terms will remain the same. The modification amount was determined based on cost of services provided during the term of the contract prior to this legislation. This ordinance will provide anticipated funding for the remainder of the contract period and it would be manifestly impractical to bid this contract for the remainder of the grant period ending February 28, 2014.

The contract compliance number for Briggs Road Medical Center is 311653758.

Emergency action is requested to provide for this contract modification in order to ensure timely payments to the Contractor.
