Explanation
BACKGROUND: Ordinance 0398-2016 authorized the Board of Health to enter into contract with the Ohio Hispanic Coalition in the amount of $32,000.00 for Promotoras interpretation services for the period of April 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017. This ordinance is needed to increase the contract PO005560 in the amount of $1,952.00 for a total contract amount not to exceed $33,952.00 with Ohio Hispanic Coalition (OHC).
This modification is needed to authorize funding for final services received and payable in excess of the original contracted amount due to higher than anticipated need for services in Columbus Public Health Clinics. Ordinance 0398-2016 authorizing the contract with OHC was the result of the competitive response to SA004736, posted January 7, 2013. The contract period ending March 31, 2017 is the fifth and final renewal year allowed according to the solicitation and contract specifications.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for this contract modification ($1,952.00) is budgeted within the Health Special Revenue Fund, Fund No. 2250.
