This is Addendum 6 to the Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) issued by the County of Los Angeles, Department of Public Health for As-Needed Language Assistance Services. The addendum clarifies and modifies requirements for qualified agencies seeking to provide ongoing language assistance services to the County on an as-needed basis. The addendum addresses substantive changes to the original RFSQ solicitation, including modifications to qualification requirements, scope of work specifications, and submission procedures. Statements of Qualifications are accepted on a continuous basis and reviewed at the County's convenience, allowing for flexible procurement of language services to support public health operations and ensure linguistic access for diverse populations served by the Department.

The addendum contains specific revisions to contractual terms, evaluation criteria, and administrative procedures that vendors must follow when submitting their SOQs. These modifications may include updates to required documentation, insurance requirements, staffing qualifications for language service providers, compensation structures, and performance standards. The continuous acceptance model allows the County to evaluate and award contracts to qualified vendors as operational needs arise, without fixed response deadlines or award dates specified in the addendum itself. This approach provides the Department of Public Health with flexibility to contract with multiple qualified agencies to meet fluctuating demands for interpretation and translation services across various languages and service delivery modalities.
