3-06 - Reference Form.pdf

This is a Reference Form used by the City of Lubbock, Texas Purchasing and Contract Management department for evaluating bidders on the North Overton Public Improvement District Landscape Maintenance and Bird Mitigation contract opportunity. The form requires bidders to provide three professional references from current customers who can verify the quality of service provided by the bidding company. The City of Lubbock prefers references from customers of similar size and scope of work and explicitly prohibits the use of the City of Lubbock itself as a reference. For each reference, bidders must provide the company name, address, contact person and title, phone number, email address, a description of the similar project completed, and the year the project was performed.

The form serves as a critical evaluation tool to assess bidder qualifications and past performance on comparable landscape maintenance and bird mitigation projects. This reference verification process allows the City of Lubbock to validate the contractor's capability to complete the work as described in the contract specifications, which includes providing all labor, tools, transportation, materials, and equipment necessary for landscape maintenance services. The contractor will be compensated based on unit pricing applied to landscaped areas completed and accepted by the City.
