EXEMPTION JUSTIFICATION (Attach additional sheets if necessa,y)

Excel Interpreters, LLC currently provides to the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) in-person interpreter services to claimants in fair hearings conducted hy the State Hearing Division (SHD). The contract does not expire until June 30, 2016. Due to limitations in SHD's case management systems data related to usage of in-person interpreter services, data was not available at the time of the original contract execution. This and the diversity of market rates for services between languages has resulted in the contract running out of funds. Funding must be added to the current agreement in order to continue to provide in-person interpreter services to claimants upon request, as required by Government Code Sections 11435.05 through 11435.65 and the Dymally-Alaton-e Bilingual Services Act.
