After losing 10 firms due to rising fuel and labor costs, Franklin County is giving a 30% raise to keep ride, lift and escort providers.
Twenty-three taxi or transportation firms that provide rides, wheelchair lift services and escorts to clients of Franklin County agencies are getting a 30% increase under contract modifications totaling $24.3 million approved this week by the county commissioners.
Megan Perry-Balonier, county purchasing director, said the 30% contract increase was necessary because the five-year contract predates the pandemic, costs have risen substantially since then, and an increase in rates was needed to keep the 23 transportation providers. "We’d like to have even more companies bid on these services — several of these are already operating at capacity," Perry-Balonier."We’ve worked with the vendors to identify a rate increase that will allow them to continue to provide this vital service for the county and its residents."In other business Tuesday, the commissioners awarded $3.
$215,412 to Huckleberry House, which serves at-risk and homeless youth, to purchase two free-standing, secure workplace units from Columbus-based Ootbox to situate the on the green at Kenmore that could house up to five workspaces for independent program staff work, private client meetings and small group counseling sessions in order to provide relief to space constraints at their facility.
