5-Attachment D - References.docx

This is a References attachment document for the Ventura County Behavioral Health Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) Facility Management Request for Proposals. The document serves as RFP Attachment D and requires proposers to provide three organizational references demonstrating relevant experience. Each reference entry requires documentation of the organization name, contact information for a reference contact, a description of the project or partnership, staff assigned to the referenced project, and project dates along with associated dollar values. The attachment establishes a standardized format for applicants to demonstrate their qualifications and past performance in similar facility management or behavioral health operations.

The references requirement is designed to allow Ventura County Behavioral Health to verify applicant experience with comparable projects prior to awarding the contract to operate a 24/7/365 adult Crisis Stabilization Unit. Proposers must substantiate their capability to manage acute behavioral health crisis response services through documented references that reflect relevant project scope, team composition, and contract values. This reference evaluation component supports the county's assessment of organizational capacity and track record in delivering the required therapeutic crisis stabilization services.
