This rate sheet is Attachment 4 to Invitation for Bid (IFB) 25-3065 issued by the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) for American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and sight translation services. The CDSS seeks consecutive and simultaneous ASL interpreting services to be provided to California Health and Human Services (CalHHS) departments and offices from in-person locations. Bidders are required to submit hourly rates for in-person interpreting services on a per-interpreter basis at the standard rate. The services are expected to be delivered on a contract basis with the potential for the CDSS to exercise discretionary options to amend and add funds to complete identified tasks at the rates agreed upon during the initial bidding process.

All costs associated with the requested services, including travel, labor, equipment, utilities, and service lines, must be included within the proposed hourly rates. Bidders must complete the rate sheet by entering their standard hourly rate per interpreter and calculating the total bid amount. The contracting entity reserves the right to adjust funding levels while maintaining the originally negotiated service rates, allowing for flexibility in contract scope and duration based on operational needs.
