18222a1-4_AngloLanguage.pdf

This document is a series of contract amendments for Spoken Language Interpreter Services between the State of Washington, Department of Enterprise Services, and Anglo Language, a Washington company. The contract (No. 18222) covers Interpreter Services for In-Person Interpretation (IPI), Over the Phone Interpretation (OPI), and Video Remote Interpretation (VRI) for non-collective bargaining unit work, effective initially from December 11, 2023.

The contract amendments progressively modify the original agreement, including adding languages to the service offering, updating pricing structures, and incorporating legislative requirements such as nondiscrimination and pay equality provisions. The pricing is structured by language categories (primary languages and all other languages) and service modalities (OPI and VRI), with rates varying by service type (prescheduled standard, prescheduled rush, and on-demand). The amendments include economic price adjustments reflecting Bureau of Labor and Statistics indices, with rates ranging from $0.80 to $2.50 per minute depending on language complexity and service mode. The contract covers a comprehensive list of languages, including Arabic, Mandarin, Spanish, and many others, and includes provisions for interpreter scheduling, cancellation policies, and performance standards.
