The Board is also requested to authorize services and payments pending an award for transportation services. AMOUNT OF MONEY AND SOURCE: Invoice # Services Rendered $ 9,503.30 8043187 July 2011 11,098.00 8045165 August 2011 11,098.00 8046248 September 2011 11,098.00 8047778 October 2011 11,098.00 8048632 November 2011 11,098.00 8049415 December 2011 $64,993.30 ­ 1001-000000-3572-327200-603051 BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION: The Durham School Services (Durham) provided transport for homeless individuals. The Mayor's Office of Human Services (MOHS) funds the operation of an overflow shelter for men. The protocol for the operation of the shelter is that clients are not allowed to walk to the shelter, but rather must be provided transportation. This requirement reduces the amount of loitering in the area as people are transported from the area in the morning. The provision of transportation and the requirement to use the transportation to access the shelter also ensures that the 100 men who ride the bus will be able to secure a bed when they arrive at the facility. 25 AGENDA BOARD OF ESTIMATES 01/18/2012 MOHS/Homeless Services ­ cont'd The services provided by Durham were initiated as a need for the safety of the homeless clients as of July 2011. As a result of these daily service needs, six months of outstanding invoices have accrued for the period of July 2011 to December 2011. The MOHS chose Durham because they had a prior contract to do business with the City of Baltimore; they have experience with servicing this population and the capability to ensure the safety of the clients. When the MOHS contacted Durham, the MOHS expected the same per- day-rates as charged for the services last winter. The projected cost for this continued service did not exceed the requirement for a bid proposal, based upon historical data. However, the received quote for services from the provider was higher than expected due to the increased number of clients, the increased number of required number of pickups, and the increased mileage rate due to the cost of gas, which in turn, increased the overall costs. While this overflow shelter provides, essentially, the same services as previous overflow shelters, the location has changed, the intake process has changed, and the vendor for those services has changed necessitating smaller numbers of clients per transport. All these changes have produced a more streamlined and efficient intake of clients. When the MOHS identified the increased costs, MOHS immediately began to work with the Bureau of Purchases to develop a new bid proposal when it was evident that the costs for the required services would exceed the procurement policy for services that must go out for bid. The bid proposal will be released in January 2012. The MOHS is therefore requesting the Board's permission to continue to utilize and pay Durham until a contract is awarded and the Bureau of Purchases issues a purchase order for these services to the successful bidder.
