This solicitation and resulting contracts provide for the furnishing of Court Reporters, Stenographers, and Transcribers whose services may be required by several departments and agencies of Montgomery County, Maryland (the “County”). The services will primarily include taking oral and video depositions of witnesses in civil court cases, administrative proceedings, administrative hearings, board interviews, County board, committee and commission meetings, and various other types of meetings and hearings that are required to be recorded by either a dual recording system or stenographer.

When requested by the County, the Contractor must also provide transcription of oral and video depositions as well as transcription of other recordings of any type.

Contracts resulting from this solicitation must provide for coverage of proceedings before agencies of the County as required by the agencies. As many as seven (7) reporters a day have been utilized by the County for depositions, meetings and hearings. For the purpose of this Contract, a proceeding is composed of one or more public hearings, or other tasks needing transcription services, of varying lengths not separated by a substantial lapse of time (exceeding two (2) hours). For example, a series of public hearings, each requiring a separate transcript, may be scheduled at the same time or sequentially. Only one minimum appearance fee or per page transcript fee will be paid for the service provided for this single proceeding. When services are required, the agency requiring the service will directly contact the Contractor. The Contractor is responsible for fulfilling all services requested with qualified reporters. If the Contractor is unable to provide a qualified reporter as requested by the County, the Contractor must notify the County by the close of business on the next business day following the date of the initial request.
