Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Board of Health has been awarded a grant from the Ohio Department of Health for the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program. Columbus Public Health has been designated as the primary grantee agency and administrator for the WIC Program in Franklin County. The grant funds awarded provide for multiple contracts to meet various grant deliverables in an amount not to exceed $634,100.00 among the contracts.
The contracts named in the approved grant application are:
Research Institute Nationwide Children’s Hospital 31-6056230 $584,100.00
PrimaryOne Health 31-1533908 $ 28,000.00
Ohio Support Services Corp 31-0945405 $ 22,000.00
TOTAL: $634,100.00
This ordinance waives relevant competitive bidding provisions of the Columbus City Code. The vendors listed above were included in the grant application because they all provide specific services that are needed to meet grant deliverables.
Emergency action is requested in order to avoid any delays in providing program services to meet grant deliverables.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Women, Infants and Children 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 Program.
