body
DEPARTMENT: Human Services
ORIGINATOR: Bill Thornton, Purchasing Manager
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Tom Teigen 11/5/26
PURPOSE: Piggyback Award Recommendation for language interpretation services
BACKGROUND: The County has need for language interpretation services. DES issued a competitive solicitation (RFP) for language interpretation and translation services for spoken or written word, to be delivered by phone (OPI), virtually, remotely (VRI), or in-person (IPI). The responses were evaluated on price, qualifications and other factors, resulting in multiple awards and contracts. The Human Services Department is the primary user but many other departments, offices and divisions also use these services. This recommendation is to approve multiple contractors so users can select the contractor that is able to provide services for the language and timeframe requested. The overall County spend on language interpretation and translation services is close to $500,000 per year and the need is growing
