Language Translation Services

The City of Mesa solicited a three‑year, fixed‑price contract to provide comprehensive language translation and interpretation services—including telephone, video, on‑site, and document translation—across multiple municipal departments. Six vendors were awarded the contract, each eligible to perform any or all of the service categories under a $100,000 annual budget. The contract emphasizes rapid response (within 24 hours), local presence in the Phoenix metro area, and compliance with licensing, insurance, and background‑check requirements. • Services encompass phone, video, and in‑person interpretation (including ASL) plus document translation with a 50‑word minimum. • Minimum hourly rates are defined for on‑site work (e.g., $110‑$140 for Spanish, $170 for other languages). • The contract term is February 1 2022 – January 31 2025, with two optional one‑year renewals and a six‑month extension possible.
