1-F. Bonfire References Form.pdf

This document is a Reference Form template for a city procurement process, designed to collect professional references from companies bidding on a contract opportunity. The form provides a structured format for bidders to list up to three client references, with fields for client name, main phone number, address, primary contact, contact details, service dates, project summary and scope, contract value, and number of client employees. The city specifically requests references from organizations of similar size or with comparable service experiences, but notes that if such references are unavailable, individual or company references that can speak to the bidder's performance are acceptable.

The reference form appears to be part of a larger bid or proposal submission process, with the intent of allowing the city to independently verify a bidder's past performance, project capabilities, and professional reputation. By requiring multiple references and detailed information about previous projects, the city can assess the bidder's expertise, reliability, and track record in delivering services similar to those being solicited. The form's design suggests a thorough and systematic approach to vendor qualification, enabling evaluators to gain insights into a company's professional history and competence before making a contract award decision.
