ADA REQUEST: Two ASL interpreters needed for upcoming in-person events hosted by the Department of Administrative Services, Directors Office for DAS Perspective Series. Each bid must include an hourly rate per interpreter (no group rates).

Interpretation needs are varied for these events, including lecture and Q&A with program participants. The events will be hosted IN-PERSON and livestreamed to an online audience. Other necessary logistical details will be shared with the successful bidder(s) to help you prepare for the event. In your bid response, please be sure to address the pricing structure identified (i.e., hourly rate per interpreter, etc.), but also your ability to do the following with a yes or no in the quirestionnaire:

1. Interpret at a high register to accommodate master degree level participants
2. Be able to clearly and effectively interpret complex terms (i.e., definitions and legal compliance language) related to the Americans with Disabilities Act
3. Be able to confirm availability to provide the requested number of interpreters IN PERSON
4. Be able to arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of the event

Rate Calculation Example: (1.00 event + .50 pre-event + .50 post-event = 2 hours scheduled service) ($65.00/hour x 2/hours of service = $130.00 x 2 interpreters = $260.00 total)
