Explanation
Laboratory testing and diagnostic services are required 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) as part of the Ryan White Part A HIV Care Program. The Board of Health entered into contract with Pediatric Pathology Associates of Columbus (PPAC) for outpatient ambulatory laboratory services in the amount of $13,000,00 for the contract period of March 1, 2014 through February 28, 2015.

This modification is needed to provide additional funding to Pediatric Pathology Associates of Columbus for the provision of outpatient ambulatory laboratory services to persons living with HIV or AIDS in Delaware, Fairfield, Franklin, Licking, Madison, Morrow, Pickaway, and Union counties. These services were advertised through vendor services (SA005275) in January, 2014 according to bidding requirements of the City Code. At the time of contract, the full amount of the grant award was not known so a partial award was given to PPAC. 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, 2015.
