CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This contract supports all of the community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card:
1) "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School"; 2) "Children and Youth Healthy and
Preparing for Productive Adulthood"; 3)"Families that are Economically Self Sufficient"; 4)
"Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing"; and 5) "Communities that are Safe and Provide a
High Quality of Life for Children and Families," by providing translation services to assist the
multi-lingual population.
BACKGROUND:
State and Federal regulations governing the administration and implementation of Employment
and Human Services Department (EHSD) Programs require that interpreter and translation
services are available to meet the needs of non-English speaking clients. Contra Costa County
has a diverse population whose primary language is other than English. These languages
include Korean, Laotian, Tagalog, Russian, Farsi, Afghani, Vietnamese, Spanish, and others.
This Request for Proposal (RFP)will solicit proposals to provide interpretation and translation
services to our non-English speaking clients whose language needs cannot be met by County
EHSD staff.
