Explanation
Ordinance number 0874-2015, approved by City Council on April 20, 2015, authorized the Board of Health to enter into a contract with The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in the amount of $87,324.00 for Behavioral Health Services for 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, 2015 through February 29, 2016.
This ordinance is needed to modify and increase contract EL017152 in the amount of $58,216.00 for the total contract amount not to exceed $145,540.00 with The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
This modification is needed to provide additional funding for The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital for the provision of Behavioral Health 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 (SA005218) in December, 2013 according to bidding requirements of the City Code.
This modification will increase the amount of the contract with The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital; other contract terms will remain the same. At the time of contract award, the full amount of the grant award was not known so a partial award was given to The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital. 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 29, 2016.
The contract compliance number for The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital is 316056230.
Emergency action is requested to provide for this contract modification in order to ensure timely payments to the contractor.
