5-REFERENCES.pdf

This file is a references form template for the City of Palm Bay, Florida's Request for Qualifications for operational services of the Palm Bay Aquatic Center. The form requires bidders to provide a minimum of three references from clients for which they are currently providing similar services or commodities. Each reference entry must include the company name, contact name and title, address, phone number, and email address of the reference client. Additionally, bidders must document the length of their contract or business relationship with each reference, including specific start and end dates, the contract value, and a detailed description of the work or services provided under that contract.

The references form serves as a qualification screening tool to verify bidder experience and capability in operating aquatic facilities. This requirement allows the City of Palm Bay to assess the track record and performance history of prospective vendors before awarding the operational contract. By requiring current references actively using the bidder's services, the form ensures that potential operators can demonstrate relevant, recent experience managing aquatic recreation facilities and programs similar to those at the Palm Bay Aquatic Center.
