Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution authorizes a noncompetitive contract with University of Wisconsin-Madison's Population Health Institute to extend the tenure of a COVID Response Corps Fellow with Public Health Madison & Dane County (PHMDC). The Fellow has been funded through state Epidemiology & Laboratory Capacity grant funds through June 30, 2023, and will be further funded by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services allocation of American Rescue Plan Act grant funds. PHMDC is transitioning its COVID dashboard to a more comprehensive respiratory pathogen monitoring dashboard and the Fellow is uniquely poised to assist with this transition given her experience with PHMDC's data dashboard infrastructure and expertise. The proposed contract meets the exception to the bidding process because the consultant has provided services to the City on a continuing project in the recent past, and it is economical to retain the same consultant. The services contract will not exceed $87,197 per year for salary, benefits, and indirect costs for up to two years (July 1, 2023-June 30, 2025) for the above described services.
