Court Reporting and Transcription Services

The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) is seeking competitive bids for court reporting and transcription services for meetings, hearings, depositions, proceedings, and various other types of events held primarily at the TxDMV Headquarters, but potentially at other locations statewide. The contractor must provide standard meeting reporting with transcription services, real-time meeting reporting with transcription services, transcription services only, and videography services only. The successful bidder must meet minimum experience and qualification requirements, including being a certified court reporting firm or certified court reporter. The contract will be awarded based on best value to the state, considering factors such as price, quality, delivery time, and past performance. Bids are due by August 23, 2024, and the initial contract term is anticipated to be from the effective date until August 31, 2025, with possible extensions up to 5 years.

The solicitation indicates that subcontracting opportunities are probable, so bidders must submit a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Subcontracting Plan as part of their response. The state's HUB program facilitates the use of HUBs in state procurement, and agencies are required to make a good faith effort to utilize HUBs. Details on any set-aside requirements or the current incumbent vendor are not provided, but the historical compensation for similar contracts has been approximately $33,000 annually.
