Explanation
Ordinance number 0654-2016, approved by City Council on March 21, 2016, authorized the Board of Health to enter into a contract with The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, in the amount of $104,742.00 for behavioral health services to assure quality mental health services 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, 2016 through February 28, 2017.

This ordinance is needed to modify and increase contract PO015105 in the amount of $26,185.50 for the total contract amount not to exceed $130,927.50 with The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
This modification will provide additional funding for The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital for the provision of behavioral health services. These services were advertised through vendor services (SA006124) in November, 2015 according to bidding requirements of the City Code.
This modification is necessary because the supplemental grant award was not known until the end of May, making it necessary to add additional funding in a later ordinance. The modification amount was determined based on negotiations with the vendor and data from the previous year.
The contract compliance number information is as follows:
The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, 006172, n/a.
