The Johnson County Board of Supervisors has issued this Request for Proposal (RFP) to identify a qualified consultant to develop Johnson County’s initial Language Access Plan (LAP) within an six-month timeframe. The County seeks a contractor with demonstrated experience in conducting language access assessments, developing language access plans, and working within local government systems.
Johnson County is a diverse community with residents who speak languages other than English. The County is committed to ensuring equitable access to services, programs, and information for individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP) or who use languages other than English, and to aligning County practices with applicable legal requirements and recognized best practices.
Through this RFP, Johnson County is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to conduct a comprehensive language access assessment and develop the County’s first Language Access Plan. The selected consultant will be responsible for completing a language access assessment and report, developing a Language Access Plan, creating a companion language access services policy document, and identifying and supporting the acquisition and/or contracting of technology solutions needed to enhance multilingual communication and service delivery.
The Johnson County Board of Supervisors has allocated $85,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for this project. This total amount must include all consultant costs as well as the costs of any recommended software or technology solutions identified through the assessment and planning process.
