About this file
This document is an Exceptions Determination Reply for Solicitation #BPM005633 regarding Foreign Language Interpretation and Translation Services, submitted by offeror Daniel Shamebo Sabore, DBA Languages Translation Services. The offeror proposed three exceptions to the RFP requirements: a request to waive Sexual Abuse and Molestation (SAM) coverage under Professional Liability insurance based on providing remote translation services with no direct contact; a proposal to classify Chin Hakha as a rare language with pricing included under the rare language rate; and a modification to the minimum billing hours for Video Remote Interpretation (VRI) and Over-the-Phone Interpretation (OPI) services due to difficulty locating professional interpreters. The document reflects the state's determinations on each exception as of November 30, 2023.
The state accepted the offeror's alternative language regarding the waiver of SAM coverage with the condition that if in-person services are ever offered in the future, appropriate insurance documentation must be submitted. However, the state denied the two pricing-related exceptions regarding Chin Hakha classification and VRI/OPI minimum hour modifications, determining that approving either would constitute a material change to the contract terms. All determinations were finalized as of November 30, 2023.
