Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Board of Health has been awarded a grant from the Ohio Department of Health to fund the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program for the period of October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018. The grant funds awarded will provide for a janitorial service contract for an amount not to exceed $37,133.64. RFQ006401 was bid of the City’s vendor services website. An evaluation of all bids received was performed and it was determined that Key Cleaning Connection was the lowest, most responsive and responsible bidder. The contract compliance number for Key Cleaning Connection is 31-1681060. Key Cleaning Connection is contract compliant through September 28, 2018.
This ordinance is submitted as an emergency to avoid any delays in receiving these needed services at the five WIC offices.
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. 2462-2017 that authorizes the acceptance and appropriation of $6,520,087.00 for the 2017-2018 Women, Infants and Children grant.
