About this file
This document is a vendor information sheet for Wisconsin's statewide contract for in-person American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation services, managed by the Wisconsin Department of Administration's State Bureau of Procurement. The contract (#505ENT-M18-ASLINTERP-00) involves six awarded vendors serving eight geographic regions across Wisconsin's 72 counties: ASL Interpreting Services, Sign Here Interpreting LLC, SWITS Ltd., Deaf Services Unlimited, Geneva Worldwide, and Professional Interpreting Enterprise (PIE). The contract is mandatory for state agencies but optional for the University of Wisconsin System and available for cooperative use by Wisconsin municipalities.
The contract provides comprehensive ASL interpretation services with pricing varying by vendor, region, and service type. Hourly rates for short-term assignments during normal business hours range from $60-$75 across vendors and regions, with higher rates for after-hours services ($65-$95) and premium rates for specialized certifications like Wisconsin Court Certified interpreters (additional $18.25-$32.50 per hour). Long-term assignments over 100 hours receive discounted rates ($50-$90 per hour), and most vendors charge cancellation fees ($25-$75) for less than 24-hour notice. The contract term runs from November 1, 2018, through October 30, 2024, including two renewal periods, with travel time typically billed at the same rate as the assignment and various payment methods accepted including P-Card and ACH.
