- The following are Frequently Asked Questions from prospective bidders: Q&A 1. The solicitation states that interpreters will be paid a two hour minimum for cancellations received within less than 24 hours. Industry standard is to pay interpreters for the entire cancelled assignment for anything cancelled with less than two full business days' notice.

How many ASL interpreters do you need? It would depend on how long the requirement is and if we have multiple agencies requesting services at the same time.
