2-Exhibit B - Reference Verification example.docx

This is a Reference Verification form associated with the City of South Jordan's RFP for Weed Control Services in Utah. The form serves as an evaluation tool for assessing contractor performance through reference checks, with responses scored on a 10-point scale for each criterion. The weed control services contract covers 161 acres of city properties including parks, open spaces, and buildings, with spring applications scheduled for February through April and fall applications for September through October. The contract term is one year with options to renew annually for up to four additional years, providing potential coverage through five years total.

The Reference Verification form evaluates eight key performance metrics: scope of work alignment, willingness to rehire, job site attendance consistency, deadline adherence, communication quality, change order practices, rework requirements, and result satisfaction. Each criterion is scored at either 10 points for satisfactory responses or 0 points for unsatisfactory responses, enabling the city to quantitatively assess contractor reliability and performance history. The contractor must provide all materials, labor, equipment, insurance, and associated costs, and must demonstrate proof of insurance along with required certifications and licensing. Proposals are submitted electronically through the State of Utah's BONFIRE procurement portal, with vendor registration required prior to submission.
