Explanation
BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Franklin County Municipal Court Administrative and Presiding Judge to enter into contract with Richland County Community Alternative Center (RCCAC), a government agency, and authorizes the expenditure of up to $200,000 from the Municipal Court indigent driver alcohol treatment fund for in-patient chemical dependency treatment for indigent OVI and Non-OVI offenders.
RCCAC is a government program and is licensed by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (ODMHAS), and possesses the necessary level of expertise to provide the treatment services and the Court has a need for an ODMHAS certified treatment program. RCCAC has no post-release control felons at their location which increases the safety of the Municipal Court probationers. This program can accommodate women probationers and RCCAC will transport all probationers to and from the program and the court.
The Franklin County Municipal Court Administrative and Presiding Judge respectfully asks for a waiver of the competitive bidding requirements of Section 329 because the Court has determined, for continuity of service that it is in its best interest to enter into contract with RCCAC for in-patient chemical dependency treatment.
Richland County CAC contract compliance is 34-6002296
FISCAL IMPACT: The 2014 budget for the indigent driver alcohol treatment fund appropriated funds for the purpose of in and out patient chemical dependency treatment for indigent OVI and Non-OVI offenders.
This legislation is considered an emergency measure to ensure the proper and timely treatment of probationers.
