2-06 - Reference Form.pdf

This is a reference form from the City of Lubbock, Texas Purchasing and Contract Management department for use in response to RFP 25-19282-MA for ultrasonic water meters, products, and services. The form requires vendors to provide three professional references from current customers who can verify the quality of service provided by the company. The City specifically requests references from customers of similar size and scope of work and explicitly prohibits the use of the City of Lubbock itself as a reference. Each reference section requires the vendor to provide the company name, address, contact person and title, phone number, email address, description of the similar project, and the year the project was completed.

The reference form serves as a qualification and evaluation document intended to demonstrate vendor capability and experience in delivering comparable projects. Vendors must identify three independent references with direct knowledge of their performance on ultrasonic metering projects or related water infrastructure work. This documentation requirement allows the City to conduct due diligence by contacting previous customers to assess service quality, project management, and technical competency relevant to the comprehensive meter installation and replacement initiative.
