ASL student schedule Fall '26.pdf

This is a State and Local Contract Opportunity notice from SUNY Delhi, a public institution in New York, seeking Sign Language Interpreter Services for a Deaf student enrolled in the Residential Construction Program during the Fall 2026 and Spring 2027 semesters. The contract requires interpreter services for approximately 43 hours per week of classes, with services commencing on August 23, 2026, for Welcome Week and orientation events. The total contract duration spans 32 weeks of instruction (16 weeks per semester) across two semesters. The institution has attached a copy of the student's Fall 2026 class schedule, which includes courses in construction plans and specifications, light frame construction theory and laboratory, mathematics for applied technology, and OSHA construction safety, with classes scheduled across multiple days and times throughout the week. Interested vendors must contact the designated campus contact within 15 business days of the advertisement notice. No sealed bid process will be held for this procurement.

Pricing shall be quoted on an hourly rate basis for the 43 hours per week of classes, with the total quote calculation incorporating 32 weeks of instruction multiplied by the hourly rate, plus any travel, toll, and additional charges. Vendors must specify whether a single interpreter will cover the entire schedule or if multiple interpreters are needed, and must indicate separate rates for holiday coverage, as classes are held on Labor Day, Election Day, Veterans Day, and potentially MLK Day and Presidents Day during Spring 2027. This procurement is limited exclusively to New York State Minority and Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) certified vendors, with a 100 percent MWBE contracting goal. No business enterprises have been awarded an identical or substantially similar contract within the past five years. Background check reports are preferred. The procurement is conducted pursuant to State Finance Law Section 163(6) and NYS Education Law 355(5)(a).
