About this file

This is a pricing schedule document for Michigan's Statewide Interpretation and Translation Request for Proposal No. 260000001165. The RFP seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive interpretation and translation services across the state. Contractors must submit pricing schedules in modifiable formats (Microsoft Word or Excel), with the option to provide additional copies in non-modifiable formats such as PDF. All price proposals must include comprehensive costs covering one-time setup charges, fees, shipping, handling, per-piece pricing, palletizing, and any other potential charges to the state. The document requires contractors to certify that prices were developed independently without consultation or agreement with competing contractors.

The pricing schedule establishes three service categories: Group A languages (Spanish and Arabic) and Group B (all other languages including Albanian, Amharic, Bengali, Burmese, Cantonese, Chaldean, Dari, Farsi, French, German, Greek, Gujarati, Haitian Creole, Hindi, Hmong, Italian, Karen, Khmer, Japanese, Korean, Lao, Mandarin Chinese, Nepali, Pashto, Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Somali, Swahili, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese, and others). Services include on-site simultaneous and consecutive interpretation, operator-positioned interpretation, VoIP, video remote interpretation, sign language interpretation, oral transliteration, communication access realtime translation, machine translation post-editing, document translation, multifaceted projects, digital content translation, and multilingual media services encompassing voice-overs, subtitling, dubbing, and transcripts. Pricing varies by availability tier (standard Monday-Friday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM ET, on-demand, and urgent/emergency 24/7/365), with turn-around times (standard and expedited/rush) affecting translation costs. All accessibility costs must be integrated into the pricing structure rather than itemized separately, and contractors are encouraged to offer quick payment discounts.

The pricing schedule should be submitted in a modifiable format (e.g., Microsoft Word or Excel); however, you may also submit an additional pricing schedule in a non-modifiable format (e.g., PDF). Failure to complete the pricing schedule as requested may result in disqualification of your proposal.

2. Price proposals must include all costs, including but not limited to, any one-time or set-up charges, fees, and potential costs that Contractor may charge the State (e.g., shipping and handling, per piece pricing, and palletizing).

3. The Contractor is encouraged to offer quick payment terms. The number of days must not include processing time for payment to be received by the Contractor's financial institution.

4. Quick payment terms: % discount off invoice if paid within days after receipt of invoice.

5. By submitting its proposal, the Contractor certifies that the prices were arrived at independently, and without consultation, communication, or agreement with any other Contractor.

6. If the State provides any document in an accessible format, it must be returned as an accessible format. It is assumed that the Contractor will always provide accessible formats when providing documents, content for the web, videos, etc., for the State, in compliance with SOM Digital Standards. Costs associated with accessibility must be included in the pricing structure outlined below, not separate line-item costs, because accessibility is required.
