Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Office of the Mayor to enter into contracts for the provision of services related to the CelebrateOne Healthy Beginnings at Home Housing Stabilization Program for Pregnant Women. The Office of the Mayor has been awarded a grant from the Ohio Housing Finance Agency (OHFA) and CelebrateOne has been designated as the primary grantee agency and administrator for the Healthy Beginnings at Home Housing Stabilization Program for Pregnant Women. Ordinance 0861-2018 authorized the acceptance and appropriation of $990,970.00 over a two-year period from OHFA for the administration of this program. These awarded grant funds provide and allow for multiple provider contracts to meet the grant deliverables.
The contracts named in the approved grant application are:
Homeless Families Foundation Pending $145,819.00
Nationwide Children’s Hospital 31-4379441 $ 23,738.00
Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority 31-6401164 $177,207.00
This ordinance seeks authority to waive the competitive bidding provisions of the Columbus City Code, Chapter 329, as the vendors listed above were included in the grant application because of the specific services provided in order to meet the Grant/Program deliverables.
FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $346,764.00 collectively through CelebrateOne with Homeless Families Foundation, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority for the provision of services related to the Housing Stabilization Program for Pregnant Women. This Grant/Program is funded by the Ohio Housing Finance Agency (OHFA), Private Grants, and donations. This program does not generate any revenue or require a City match. This ordinance is contingent on Ordinance No. 0861-2018 which authorizes the acceptance and appropriation of $990,970.00 in Grant Funding for this project.
