2-References Form.pdf

This is a References Form for the Annual Tree Purchase bid opportunity issued by the Town of Fairfield, Connecticut, on behalf of its Department of Public Works and Tree Warden. The form requires bidding companies to provide detailed reference information for up to five of their most recent similar scope projects. For each reference, bidders must supply the company name, phone number, contact person, cell phone, company address, email, and a description of the project including its location and completion date. The form is designed to allow the Town to verify a bidder's qualifications and experience in providing tree supply services comparable to those required under this solicitation.

The References Form serves as a standard evaluation tool to assess bidder capability and track record. Bidders are instructed to provide information on their most recent similar projects, enabling the Town to contact references directly to confirm project scope, quality of work, and reliability. This reference verification process is a critical component of the bid evaluation criteria and allows the Town to make informed decisions regarding vendor selection based on demonstrated past performance in tree procurement and supply.
