Explanation
BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Development to modify the contract with ATC Group Services, LLC by adding an additional $45,000.00.
The Department of Development posted solicitation RFQ014279 in November 2019 and sought bids for licensed lead risk inspectors/assessors and/or lead abatement contractors for conducting lead based paint inspections; preparing risk assessment reports, work specifications, and cost estimates; and providing final clearance testing in privately-owned residential housing units in accordance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), State of Ohio, and City of Columbus regulations. Two vendors responded and a contract was awarded to both vendors.
This service is needed to fulfill the requirements of the 2019 Lead Hazzard Control and Healthy Homes grant received by the City in late 2019 and effective December 2, 2019.
In order to have funding available at the start of the grant, the original contract with this vendor was for $45,000.00. Based upon historical data, the Department anticipates expending $90,000.00 with this vendor each year. By adding an additional $45,000.00, this modification makes this amount of money available in the first year. The original contract expires December 31, 2020.
Because federal regulations allows the Department to utilize the same vendor throughout the life of the grant if the Department is pleased with the performance of work, the Department may seek Council approval to renew the contract for each remaining year of the grant: 2021, 2022, and 2023.
