TRANSLATION/INTERPRETATION SERVICES AS-NEEDED
The City of Portland is seeking proposals from individuals, firms, teams or consultants with demonstrated experience in providing translation services on an as-needed basis for publication translation, presentation materials, signage, emergency translation, and interpretation services in person and by the telephone. Projects will generally range from a few hundred dollars up to $5,000. Historically, the City has needs for translation and interpretation services in Vietnamese, Spanish, Russian, French, Somali, and Chinese; other languages that might be necessary to service the growing diversity of the City�s customer base are also preferred. As a minimum requirement, Proposers are required to be able to provide six core languages (Vietnamese, Spanish, Russian, French, Somali, Chinese), and to make available other languages as required from time to time. Proposers must demonstrate or attest to this requirement or the City may reject, at the City�s sole discretion, the Proposal as non-responsive. The City allows and encourages partnership with other firms as subconsultants to meet this minimum requirement.
