About this file
This is a Conformance Statements document for Request for Proposal Solicitation No. BPM00563, issued by the Arizona Department of Administration State Procurement Office for Foreign Language Interpretation and Translation services. The document requires offerors to confirm their compliance with the Instructions to Offerors, Scope of Work, and Contract Terms and Conditions as outlined in the solicitation documents. Offerors must indicate whether they can comply fully with all requirements or whether they are taking exceptions to specific provisions. If exceptions are taken, offerors must complete supplemental attachment pages detailing the alternate language and rationale for each exception. The submission acknowledges that offers with exceptions may receive lower scores during evaluation or may be found not susceptible for award under Arizona Administrative Code R2-7-C311.
Daniel Shamebo Sabore, Managing Director of Daniel Shamebo Sabore DBA Languages Translation Services, submitted this conformance statement with multiple exceptions. The primary exceptions include: a challenge to the requirement for Sexual Abuse and Molestation (SAM) insurance coverage under Professional Liability provisions, citing that the company provides remote translation services with no direct client contact; designation of Chin Hakka as a rare language with pricing adjusted accordingly; and modifications to pricing for Video Remote Interpretation (VRI) and Over-the-Phone Interpretation (OPI) services to implement a minimum two-hour billing requirement for certain languages, justified by the difficulty in securing professional interpreters willing to work at per-minute rates.
