MCC will host a number of partner countries. The Interpreter support is required for two, possibly more, French Speaking individuals. The entire conference attendees will not require interpretation. The Interpreter is required to provide all necessary equipment, including interpretation tabletop booth and headsets. This will include set up and break down of the equipment before and after each conference. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS This consultancy will be filled as a short-term consultancy for five days of services. The requirement is for 2 interpreters, equipment booth, and equipment to include digital receivers and headphones for up to 50 attendees. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE This consultancy will be filled as a short-term consultancy for French-English around the week of 21 September 2020. However, due to the effects of the current pandemic, the dates may change. The contract period of performance will be for one year, and the contractor will be given at a minimum 30-day notice before the actual date(s) of the event. PLACE OF PERFORMANCE The interpretation will take place at the MCC HQ, 1099 14th Street NW, Washington, DC 20005. EVALUATION CRITERIA Technical Capability Contractor will provide MCC with a technical proposal that explains its approach and understanding of the assignment. The proposal should clearly demonstrate the offerors ability to provide interpreter services as stated. MCC will evaluate the offeror on the completeness and understanding of the technical requirement. Price Price proposals will be analyzed for reasonableness and completeness. A price proposal found to be unrealistically low or unrealistically high may be considered to reflect a lack of understanding of requirements. Offerors are cautioned that unreasonably high or unrealistically low proposed prices may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from the competitive range and/or result in elimination of a contractor’s proposal from consideration for award.
