Q3.What is your practice for adjusting the difference between the cost of a hearing without a transcript order and the eventual cost if a transcript is ordered?

A3.Currently, there is a rate for court reporting services for hearing dates without transcripts being provided. If transcripts are ordered after the fact there is a cost. Each cost should be independent of each other.

Q4.Our agency does not cover any automobiles of employees or court reporters. All employees or court reporters who travel for the company are required to maintain automobile insurance within the laws of the State of California.

A4.All insurance requirements stated in the RFQ shall remain the same. Bidders will be required to show proof of all insurance requirements within thirty (30) days from the date the contractor executes the agreement.
