Explanation
BACKGROUND: Columbus Public Health (CPH) has a need to contract for security officer services for their facility at 240 Parsons Avenue. The purpose of this legislation is to authorize the Board of Health to enter into a $340,000 contract with United Security, LLC, for security services for the period March 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015.
A Request for Proposal (RFP), # SA003632 "Security Officer Services at 240 Parsons Avenue," was publicly posted to the City of Columbus Vendor Services website from June 14, 2010 until July 6, 2010.
