Explanation
Ordinance No. 0227-2016 authorized the Board of Health to enter into a contract with Ohio Support Services Corp., in the amount of $360,000.00 for the provision of security services for the period of March 1, 2016 through February 28, 2017. This ordinance is needed to increase PO002556 in the amount of $22,000.00 for a total contract amount not to exceed $382,000.00 with Ohio Support Services Corp.
This modification is needed to add additional guards to the contract to meet the demand for security services at various WIC clinics. This legislation, as well as ordinance 0227-2016, are in response to bid SA005641 which was posted November 12, 2014. This is the second year of a five year renewal contract. Ohio Support Services Corp., Federal ID number is 31-0945405. The contract compliance expires on November 26, 2016.
This ordinance is submitted as an emergency to avoid any delays in receiving these needed services.
FISCAL IMPACT: The WIC Program is entirely funded by the Ohio Department of Health. This program does not generate any revenue or require a City match. This ordinance is contingent on the passage of Ordinance No. 2353-2016 that authorizes the acceptance and appropriation of $6,655,579.00 for the 2016-2017 WIC Grant Program.
