Explanation

BACKGROUND: Columbus Public Health has been awarded a grant from Franklin County Department of Job and Family Services originating from the US Department of Health and Human Services. This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $710,500.00 in grant monies to implement campaigns and initiatives for CelebrateOne to ensure positive birth outcomes for the period of July 14, 2015 through September 30, 2015.

This ordinance authorizes and directs the Board of Health to modify, increase and extend EL015624 with Gatehouse Media Partners, Inc. for the time period ending September 30, 2015 in the amount of $150,000.00 for the total contract amount not to exceed $314.200.00. This modification is needed to provide continued work on the safe sleep campaign.

This ordinance also authorizes and directs the Board of Health to enter into a $560,500.00 contract with Paul Werth Associates for the period of July 14, 2015 through September 30, 2015 to continue the work on the branding rollout of CelebrateOne. The contract compliance number for Paul Werth Associates is 310726286 and expires on 02/14/2016. This ordinance waives the relevant competitive bidding provisions of the Columbus City Code, Chapter 329.

This ordinance is submitted as an emergency so as to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the city's accounting system as soon as possible, given the grant start date of July 14, 2015. Up to date financial posting promotes accurate accounting and financial management.

FISCAL IMPACT: The program is funded by Franklin County Department of Job and Family Services.
