Explanation
BACKGROUND: Ordinance number 0529-2014, approved by City Council on March 24, 2014, authorized the Board of Health to enter into a contract with AIDS Resource Center Ohio Medical Center in the amount of $391,315.00 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 March 1, 2014 through February 28, 2015.
This ordinance is needed to modify and increase contract EL015629 in the amount of $551,520.00 for the total contract amount not to exceed $942,835.00 with AIDS Resource Center Ohio Medical Center.
This modification will provide additional funding for AIDS Resource Center Ohio Medical Center for the provision of Outpatient Ambulatory and Medical Case Management services and allow for development of a quality management plan for HIV Care. These services were advertised through vendor services (SA005137) in October, 2013 according to bidding requirements of the City Code.
This modification is necessary because the total grant award was not known until the end of May, making it necessary to add additional funding in a later ordinance. The modification amount was determined based on negotiations with the vendor and data from the previous year.
The contract compliance number and expiration dates for this provider are:
AIDS Resource Center - 800813109 - 2/26/15.
This ordinance is submitted as an emergency to ensure sufficient funding is available to provide quality medical care to eligible persons living with HIV/AIDS, and to ensure timely payment to this provider.
FISCAL IMPACT: This contract is entirely funded by a grant award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration.
