10._Interpreter_Exhibit_B-1_Rate_Sheet_2-4-16.xls

This is a rate sheet (Exhibit B-1) for telephone interpreter services for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), covering three regional locations (Northern, Central, and Southern) for the fiscal year period of July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018. The document outlines service requirements for telephone interpretation, including monthly minimum charges based on estimated usage of 8,000 minutes per month plus 200 third-party domestic calls, and equipment leasing requirements for 166 phones and 2 splitters in the Northern region. For Central and Southern regions, the services include full-day and half-day interpreter services for both common and exotic languages, with estimated hearings of 180 common and 30 exotic for Central region, and 305 common and 55 exotic for Southern region, along with document translation services estimated at 1,500 words per document for 6 documents.

Bidders may submit rates for one or all regions, with the lowest bidder for multiple regions receiving a single consolidated agreement. The CDCR reserves the right to augment the agreement amount by 25-100% of the total bid amount. Contractors can offer a discount of at least 0.5% (minimum $50) for invoices paid within 30 days, which may be used as a tiebreaker. All quantities listed are estimates only, and the State reserves the right to adjust work quantities as needed. Zero dollar amounts are interpreted as services provided at no cost to the State, and failure to indicate any dollar amount will result in bid rejection.
