Explanation
BACKGROUND: Ordinance No. 0860-2016, approved by City Council on May 2, 2016, authorized the Board of Health to enter into contracts with four not-for-profit community agencies to meet the deliverables for the United Health Foundation CelebrateOne Community Connector Corps Grant Project. This project helps support a citywide resident engagement program to connect pregnant women to medical and social supports in their neighborhood. The initial contract period was February 1, 2016, through January 31, 2017.
This ordinance is needed to authorize the Board of Health to extend the contract period through October 31, 2017, and increase the three contracts as listed below:
Contract and PO Increased Amount Not to Exceed
Community Development for All People (PO009958) $ 5,000.00 $50,199.54
SomaliCAN (PO009920) $17,305.56 $62,057.58
Moms2B-The Ohio State University (PO012877) $34,611.12 $49,528.12
Totals: $56,916.68 $161,785.24
Every year in Franklin County, approximately 150 babies die before their first birthday. While national infant mortality rates are decreasing, in 2014, Ohio ranked 12th worst in the nation for overall infant mortality. The infant mortality rate in Franklin County January-August, 2016 was 116 babies, 16 related to sleep-related infant deaths (13.8%).
Emergency action is requested for the contract modifications in order to ensure timely payments to the contractor and for the continuation of services needed to meet grant deliverables.
FISCAL IMPACT: The funds required to modify and increase the three contracts are available and budgeted within the City’s Private Grants Fund. The initial contract with Moms2B-The Ohio State University (PO012877) was for $14,917.00 and was not part of or included in Ordinance No. 0860-2016. Moms2B is a program that is sponsored by The Ohio State University.
