About this file
This is a Scope of Work Verification Form submitted by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for foreign language translation services under requisition number R001758. The Authority is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to provide foreign language translation services with a five-year contract term. The document serves as certification that the scope of work and specifications were independently prepared to invite fair competition and do not contain brand name preferences, unreasonable restrictions, or vendor favoritism. The form indicates the Marketing & Customer Engagement Department submitted the verification on February 26, 2026, with the project manager providing authorization for the procurement process.
The contract opportunity carries a budget allocation of $150,000 for the full five-year term. The scope of work verification confirms compliance with federal transit administration regulations and procurement standards, ensuring that all specifications clearly identify the characteristics, tasks, and functions required for the translation services. The document establishes that industry, federal, state, and local government specifications may be applied, and that consultants were prohibited from assisting in the development of the scope of work in which they may bid, thereby maintaining procurement integrity and competitive fairness.
