Subject:Cancellation #23-384-10 and Contract #23-384-11 with Language Line Services, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-384-7 (as amended by #23-384-8 and #23-384-9) with Language
Line Services, Inc., for the period from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2015, for the provision of over the
phone interpreting services and translation services for the Health Services Department.
In consideration of Contractor’s agreement to continue providing services, the Department and the Contractor have
mutually agreed to renegotiate Contract terms to include on-site interpretation and translation of written materials.
Therefore, in accordance with General Conditions Paragraph 5. (Termination and Cancellation) of the Contract, the
Department and Contractor have agreed to a mutual cancellation of Contract #23-384-7 (as amended by #23-384-8
and #23-384-9). Approval of Cancellation Agreement #23-384-10 will accomplish this termination.
Approval of Contract #23-384-11 will allow the Contractor to provide additional translation and interpretation
services, including over the phone and on-site interpretation and translation of written documents at Contra Costa
Regional Medical Center and Contra Costa Health Centers, through April 30, 2020.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this contract is not approved, patients requiring translation and interpretation services at Contra Costa Regional
Medical and Contra Costa Health Centers will not have access to Contractor’s services, which will result in a
reduction in the overall level of services to the community.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
