1-F. Bonfire References Form.pdf

This is a References Form for a Biosolids Management Contract Research and Solicitation Development Consulting Services opportunity with Charlotte Water in North Carolina. The form requests that companies provide three professional references demonstrating their qualifications and experience. Each reference entry requires documentation of the client name, contact information, primary contact details, service dates, a summary and scope of the project performed, contract value, and the number of client employees. Charlotte Water prefers references from organizations of similar size or where the company has performed comparable services to those described in the solicitation; however, references from individuals or companies capable of attesting to the company's performance are acceptable if similar-sized references are unavailable.

The references serve as a critical evaluation component for assessing bidder capability and past performance on consulting engagements. Bidders must demonstrate experience relevant to biosolids management research, municipal contract evaluation, and RFP development through their provided references. The form standardizes the reference submission process to facilitate consistent comparison of vendor qualifications across all proposals submitted for Charlotte Water's biosolids management contract development initiative.
