5-REFERENCES.pdf

This is a References template document for a Citywide Debt Collection Services contract opportunity in Florida. The document establishes bidder qualification requirements by mandating submission of a minimum of three references demonstrating current or recent experience providing equivalent services or commodities. Each reference entry requires documentation of the client company name, primary contact information including name, title, address, phone number, and email address, along with the duration of the business relationship identified by start and end dates. Bidders must also provide the contract value associated with each reference and a detailed description of work performed under that contract.

The references requirement serves as a mechanism to evaluate bidder capability and track record prior to contract award. This qualification criterion ensures prospective vendors can demonstrate established expertise in debt collection services through verifiable client relationships and documented performance history.
