Statewide Contract No. 03919 Sign Language Interpreter Services with Independent ContractorsStatewide Contract for Sign Language Interpreter Services • June 15th, 2023
SCOPE OF WORK. This Statewide Contract is for Sign Language (Hand Interpreting) with Independent Contractors. A sign language interpreter must accurately convey messages between two different languages. An interpreter is there for both deaf and hearing individuals. The act of interpreting occurs when a hearing person speaks, and an interpreter renders the speaker's meaning into sign language, or other forms used by the deaf party(ies). The interpreting also happens in reverse: when a deaf person signs, an interpreter renders the meaning expressed in the signs into the oral language for the hearing party, which is sometimes referred to as voice interpreting or voicing.
