7-Attachment C - ASL Interpreting Rate Sheet.pdf

This is an American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreting Rate Sheet attachment for the City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) on behalf of the Civil Rights Inclusion and Opportunity (CRIO) department. The rate sheet establishes pricing for ASL interpreting services to be provided for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community throughout Detroit. The document outlines standardized hourly and per-assignment rates for various interpreting service categories, including on-site interpretation, video remote interpreting (VRI), and specialized assignments. The rate structure differentiates between standard business hours and after-hours services, with premium rates applied for evening and weekend assignments. Minimum billing requirements and cancellation policies are established to ensure service availability and provider compensation consistency.

The rate sheet serves as the pricing framework for qualified ASL interpreting service providers responding to the RFP. Rates are designed to ensure affordable access to professional interpreting services while providing fair compensation to interpreters meeting the City's qualifications and credentialing requirements. The pricing structure includes provisions for travel time, equipment setup, and specialized interpreting contexts such as medical, legal, or emergency services where enhanced rates may apply. This standardized rate schedule enables transparent cost estimation and budget planning for city departments utilizing ASL interpreting services through approved vendors.
