9. Q. Can the Government confirm the period of performance A. 1 May 25 – 30 Apr 26 (base) + 4 option years
10. Q. Would you be able to provide a rough idea of the timeframes during the day when interpreter services are typically needed? For example, are most events scheduled in the morning hours (e.g., between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM), in the afternoon (e.g., 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM), or does it vary? Even a general window would be very helpful for scheduling.
A. Unfortunately, the only estimated timeframe I could give is between 8am-4pm or 5pm, since events can be scheduled at any time during the normal workday.
11. Q. Could you also share a general estimate of how many hours of service are typically needed per day? For instance, are assignments usually around 1 hour long, or do they tend to run closer to 2 hours or more? The reason we ask is that most certified interpreters can only provide continuous services for up to 1.5 hours per session, so having an idea of the expected duration helps us plan appropriately A. yes, we will be able to provide the estimated service time when scheduling.
