This file is a references template for the Franklin County Cooperative RFP 2025-06-09 for Disability and Voluntary Programs. The RFP requires bidders to submit references demonstrating experience with disability insurance programs and related services. Specifically, vendors must provide two current client references, with at least one reference demonstrating experience as a proposed Account Manager for Disability Insurance and at least one additional reference showing experience providing either ID Theft Services or Legal Services in conjunction with disability programs. The template requests detailed information for each reference including organization name, contact person, title, address, email, phone number, contract effective date, number of enrolled employees, and description of services provided. The RFP explicitly states that references must be submitted with the proposal submission and that failure to provide complete references will significantly impact evaluation scoring, with no additional opportunities to submit missing references.

The references requirement demonstrates that Franklin County Cooperative is evaluating bidders' capability to manage disability insurance accounts and coordinate ancillary services such as ID theft protection and legal services. The emphasis on current client references suggests the RFP values demonstrated experience delivering these integrated service offerings to similar client bases. The strict submission deadline for references and their significant weight in evaluation indicates this is a critical component of the procurement process that bidders must address thoroughly during initial proposal submission.
