3-06 - Reference Form.pdf

This is a Reference Form document from the City of Lubbock, Texas Purchasing and Contract Management Department for the Landscape & Grounds Maintenance Services contract. The form requires proposers to provide three references from current customers who can verify the quality of services the company provides. 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. The contract involves providing grounds maintenance, litter control, plant and tree maintenance, structural and site cleanliness services at three Lubbock Police Department Patrol Division Stations located at North (5910 Erskine St.), South (14005 Indiana Ave.), and East (1901 MLK Jr. Blvd.).

For each of the three required references, proposers must 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. This documentation allows the City to conduct due diligence by contacting independent third parties with direct experience evaluating the bidder's landscaping and grounds maintenance capabilities on projects comparable in nature and scope to the City's requirements.
