BACKGROUND: Columbus Public Health has been awarded a grant from the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO). This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $25,000.00 in grant monies to fund the Health Equity and Overdose Mentorship Grant Program for the period of January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022.

Columbus Public Health agrees to provide the goods, staffing, and services to enhance the programmatic activities of CDC Grant# 6NU38OT000306-04-02, CFDA# 93.421 as described on the attached.

In addition, this ordinance shall authorize the Director of Finance and Management to establish a purchase order with BTNX for the purchase of Single Drug Test Strips for fentanyl and to waive the competitive bidding provisions of City Code due to CPH basing all education card and instructions on the type of test strips that BTNX manufactures. They are a single source for the Rapid Response Fentanyl Test Strips. These strips are used for harm reduction in partnership with the Alcohol and Drug Services division and a resource for compliance with terms of the Grant award.
It is in the best interest of the city to waive the relevant provisions of Chapter 329 of City Code relating to competitive bidding to permit the aforementioned purchase.
This ordinance is submitted as an emergency to not delay program activities and attend required meetings, and to allow the financial transactions to be posted in the City’s accounting system as soon as possible given the grant start date of January 1, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT: The NACCHO Grant Program is entirely funded by the CDC Grant. This program does not generate any revenue or require a City match.
