T3158 Revised Class B Languages Optional SSPS.xlsx

This is a state-supplied price sheet for optional Class B language services under New Jersey's Bid Solicitation #25DPP1171 for Contract T3158, covering in-person interpretation, on-demand remote interpretation, document translation, translation validation, and transcription services. The solicitation is organized by three geographic regions: Northern, Central, and Southern. The price sheet template requires bidders to provide unit pricing for Years 1, 2, and 3 across five service categories encompassing 88 specified languages plus provisions for additional language offerings. Category 1 includes in-person consecutive and simultaneous interpretation services billed hourly, with rush fees not to exceed 50% markup for next-day service and 30% markup for two-day service scheduling. Category 2 covers on-demand remote interpreting services available via over-the-phone (OPI) and video remote (VRI) formats, billed per minute. Category 3 addresses document translation services for standard word-based work, and Category 4 covers translation validation services, both measured per word with the same rush fee parameters as in-person interpretation. Category 5 encompasses transcription services billed per minute, also subject to the same rush fee limitations. Languages included span European, African, Asian, and Middle Eastern languages, from Albanian and American Sign Language to Vietnamese and Yiddish.

Bidders must complete separate price sheets for each geographic region in which they wish to participate, providing their bidder name and date of submission. The pricing structure allows for service cost escalation across the three contract years, enabling bidders to account for inflation and operational changes. The inclusion of rush fee percentages establishes maximum allowable markups for expedited services, ensuring cost control for the state. The optional nature of Class B languages indicates these are supplemental to core language services, allowing bidders flexibility in their service offerings. No incumbent information, specific funding amounts, or award dates are specified in this price sheet template, as it functions as a bidding mechanism to establish the rate structure for the contract period.
