ATTACHMENT E - Cost Sheet~1.docx

This is a Cost Sheet attachment for an RFP issued by the Oregon Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) for telephonic interpretation services. The RFP seeks to award up to three contractors to provide pre-scheduled telephonic interpretation services across all Oregon counties. The agency will use a Best Value Analysis to evaluate offers based on the number of languages offered, pricing competitiveness, experience, expertise, references, and availability and resource capacity. The cost sheet identifies ten baseline available languages for legal interpretation: Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Mandarin, Arabic, Oromo, Ukrainian, Farsi, and Korean, with provisions for offerors to add additional languages and remove languages they cannot provide.

All baseline languages listed in the cost sheet are priced at $0.00 per hour with a one-hour minimum service requirement available to all counties. The cost sheet includes placeholder rows for offerors to add certified languages for legal interpretation and requires offerors to customize the attachment by adding or removing languages according to their capabilities. Offerors must attest by signature that all languages included in their cost sheet submission have interpreters available for legal hearings. The signature block must be completed and included in the final submission prior to bid submittal.
