Budget Estimate (AI):

$100,000 – $600,000

The estimated budget for this contract is difficult to determine without more information on the scope of work and the number of interpretation services required. However, based on industry standards, the average cost of ASL interpretation services can range from $50 to $150 per hour, depending on the location, type of service, and qualifications of the interpreter. Assuming an average cost of $100 per hour and an estimated 1,000 hours of interpretation services per year, the total contract value could be around $100,000 per year. With the option to renew for up to five annual extensions, the total contract value could be up to $600,000 over the six-year period.
