4. Payment for Services: The County agrees to pay at the rates specified for Services satisfactorily <br />performed in accord with this Agreement. The amount to be paid by the County shall not exceed <br />$10,000 ($35/hour for Interpretation Services). Payment shall be made within thirty (30) days of <br />an invoice properly submitted to County. Should Provider fail to perform its duties under the <br />terms of this Agreement, County may, without fault or penalty, withhold any payment associated <br />with the work to be performed until such time as said work is completed. The procedures for <br />payment of services rendered shall be as follows: <br />a. The Provider. The Provider will complete and submit the County Invoice for Payment of <br />Interpretation Services form to County staff at the time the service is rendered. County staff <br />will verify the information, sign and forward the form for payment of services. <br />b. For interpretation services: <br />i. The Provider will record the start and finish time worked to the minute. After the <br />first hour of service, payment will be calculated and paid per minute. <br />ii. The Provider shall submit one invoice per client, unless there is a block of <br />appointments without interruption. Without interruption means that there were no <br />cancelled appointments and no lunch hour included. This is appropriate for a group <br />of clients who are served for the same type of appointment, at the same location. <br />For question, contact the departmental contact. <br />iii. In the event of a cancelled appointment, the Provider is required to stay until <br />relieved of duty by the individual in charge. County staff may require other <br />interpreter-related services in place of the scheduled appointment. As stated above, <br />the Provider may submit an invoice in the event of a broken appointment (with less <br />than 24 hour notice). <br />iv. If the Provider is assisting County staff with a large volume of phone calls outside of <br />a scheduled appointment time, the Provider should complete a Call Log to submit <br />along with an invoice describing the services performed. This type of service is paid <br />by the minute, without a one hour minute requirement for payment. <br />v. In the case of an unexpected closing or delayed opening (e.g., inclement weather) of <br />the County Offices when providing interpretation services, the Provider shall not be <br />paid for missed appointments. When in doubt, the Provider can call 732-8181 to see <br />if county offices are open or are on a delayed schedule. When possible, the Provider <br />is also asked to help call his/her scheduled clients to inform them of the delay or <br />closing. <br />5. Term. The term of this Agreement shall be from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. <br />Errors and Omissions. Provider represents and agrees that Provider is qualified to perform and <br />fully capable of performing and providing the services required or necessary under this <br />Agreement in a fully competent, professional and timely manner to the satisfaction of the <br />County. Provider shall be responsible for all errors or omissions, in the performance of the <br />Agreement. Provider shall correct any and all errors, omissions, discrepancies, ambiguities, <br />mistakes or conflicts at no additional cost to the County. <br />Additional Terms and Condition. The County may have additional terms and condition that <br />shall be provided as Attachment 1, and shall be attached and are hereby incorporated by <br />reference. <br />Revised June 2011 3 <br />
