5-G. Bonfire References Form.pdf

This is a References Form for the City of Charlotte's Workforce Management Replacement Consultant solicitation in North Carolina. The form establishes the required format for bidders to submit client references demonstrating their qualifications and experience. Companies must provide three references, with the City's preference being organizations of similar size or those receiving comparable services to workforce management system implementation and replacement. Each reference entry requires documentation of the client name, main phone number, address, primary contact information including title, phone, and email, service dates, a summary and scope of the project performed, contract value, and the number of client employees.

The references form does not contain pricing information, set-asides, incumbent details, or funding sources. Instead, it serves as a qualification and evaluation mechanism allowing the City to verify bidder performance history through direct contact with previous clients. Bidders unable to provide references from organizations of similar size or receiving identical services may submit references from individuals or companies that can attest to their performance capabilities. The submission of completed reference forms is a requirement for proposal evaluation but does not establish specific monetary thresholds or contract terms.
