Houston Health Department requests City Council approval of an ordinance approving and authorizing Amendment No. 4 to the Department of State Health services Contract No. HHS000119700014, for the period from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2023 (Fiscal Year 2023) and delegate to the Director of HHD the ability to accept future grant funds and execute related contract documents for a period not exceed five years from September 1, 2022.
Specific Explanation:
The original contract, internal number Contract No. FC77652 was approved by City Council by Ordinance No. 2017-410, which also delegated authority to the HHD Director to execute all future related contract amendments, extensions, agreements and documents in connection with the Immunization\Local grant, with the approval as to form of the City Attorney, without further City Council action, for subsequent periods not to exceed five years from September 1, 2017. The parties amended the contract via Amendment No. 4, which was countersigned on May 16, 2022; however, the original ordinance No. 2017-410 expired June 7, 2022. Therefore, HHD is requesting an ordinance to approve and ratify Amendment No.4, and to grant the HHD Director the authority to apply for and accept any subsequent awards if any, not to exceed five years from September 1, 2022.
Fiscal Note:
No Fiscal Note is required on Grant Items
