SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Acting Social Service Director, or
his designee, to Amend Contract #20-549-14 to increase the
contract amount by $15, 500 for a new total of $40, 000,
thereby allowing for the continuance of translation services
through June 30, 1995.
FISCAL•
Translation services are considered part of the Social
Service Department administrative costs and are therefor
funded approximately 80% by Federal and State funds.
BACKGROUND:
The Social Service Department client community includes many
non-English speaking people whose primary languages include
such divergence as Korean, Laotian, Tagalog, Russian, Parsi,
Afghani, Vietnamese, Sign, etc. For those clients whose
language needs cannot be met by staff, the Social Service
Department contracts for on-call translation services to
provide the necessary communications for the conduct of
business, and to meet Civil Rights requirements of the
California Department of Social Service Manual Section 21-
115. The level of those services required this year has
exceeded the anticipated volume included in Contract #20-
549-14 with the California Translation Service. This
amendment will provide the increased level nessary to
continue normal services.
