5-F. References Form (ITB).pdf

This document is a References Form for a City of Charlotte Invitation to Bid, designed to collect information about three client references for a potential vendor or contractor. The form requires bidders to list three separate firms (excluding the City of Charlotte) where they have previously provided services similar to those outlined in the current bid opportunity. For each reference, the form requests the firm's name, address, contact person, and telephone number.

The form is a standard template used in the bid submission process to verify a company's past performance, experience, and capability to successfully complete the proposed project or contract. By requiring multiple references, the City of Charlotte aims to conduct due diligence and assess the bidder's qualifications, track record, and reliability before making a final selection. The blank form allows potential vendors to demonstrate their professional history and provide verifiable contact information for potential reference checks.
