Explanation
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.

These services were advertised through vendor services (SA005137) in October, 2013 according to bidding requirements of the City Code.
This modification will increase the amount of the contract; other contract terms will remain the same. This additional funding need was not able to be foreseen because of the need to provide more staff time than expected for required reporting for this vendor. The modification amount was determined based on negotiations with the vendor. 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.
