Re: Resolution 88-23 – 2024 Franklin County Public Health Contract
Summary
Resolution 88-23 authorizes the City Manager to enter into a contract (attached) with the District
Advisory Council of the Franklin County General Health District (Franklin County Public Health) for
the provision of public health services, plumbing plan review and inspection services for 2024.
Franklin County Public Health serves as the public health agency for the City, including the portions
of the City in Delaware and Union Counties.
The Board of Franklin County Public Health approved a per capita rate of $9.89 for the public
health services it provides to participating jurisdictions for 2024. This per capita rate reflects an
increase of 3% over the 2023 per capita rate ($9.60). Based on MORPC’s estimated population for
Dublin of 49,221, the City’s costs for the 2024 contract is $486,795.89. This is an increase of
$14,293.98 from the 2023 amount ($472,501.91). This amount has been budgeted as part of the
2024 Operating Budget.
As Council is aware, the City of Dublin contracts separately with Franklin County Public Health for
mosquito control services. Franklin County Public Health is responsible for the mosquito contract
administration and monitors the contractor’s performance and compliance with the terms,
conditions, and specifications of the contract.
In October 2023, Franklin County Public Health published a request for proposals for the Mosquito
Management Program. Franklin County Public Health received and evaluated two proposals for
Mosquito Management Services for 2024-2026. The proposers were Clarke Environmental
Mosquito Management (Clarke) who was the past provider from 2018 to 2023 and Vector Disease
Control, International (VDCI) who held the contract prior to 2018. VDCI scored highest on the
request for proposal responses and had the lowest pricing proposal; therefore, VDCl was the
successful proposer. Costs for the 2024 program is $51,782.81. This is an increase of $10,560.11
from the 2023 amount. 2023 was the final year of Clark Environmental contract extension. Staff
has also budgeted for these services in the 2024 Operating Budget.
Recommendation
Staff recommends Council approve Resolution No. 88-23 authorizing the City Manager to enter into
a contract for Public Health Services with the Board of Health of the Franklin County General
Health District for 2024.
