14-Reference Form.pdf

This is a Reference Form document from the Town of Palm Beach, Florida, used as part of the competitive bidding process for the North Lake Way Living Shoreline construction project. The project involves construction of a living shoreline stabilization and enhancement project along North Lake Way at the Lake Worth Lagoon, integrating engineering and environmental solutions including a nearshore rock breakwater system, restored mangrove habitat, and stabilized upland slope with native vegetation. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Thursday, April 30, 2026, at 9:00 AM EST via Microsoft Teams, with attendance strongly encouraged as the sole forum for direct clarification from the Project Manager and Town staff. Online bid submissions are required through Euna Procurement (Bonfire), the Town's eProcurement platform. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder whose bid meets the stated requirements and criteria, with the Town reserving the right to reject any or all bids and award to the bidder best serving the Town's interests.

The reference form requires all bidders to provide a minimum of five current and pertinent professional references from work completed within the last three years, including the firm name and address, scope of work, project dates, contract amount, and contact information for each reference. Failure to furnish this information may result in proposal rejection. The form includes designated spaces for the Town to verify references and document comments regarding the bidder's qualifications, financial stability, and experience. This requirement ensures that prospective contractors demonstrate a documented history of relevant project delivery and financial capability prior to contract award.
