7-04 - Reference Form.pdf

This is a Reference Form document issued by the City of Lubbock, Texas Purchasing and Contract Management Department for the 2026 Concrete Replacement project, which involves competitive sealed bids for concrete replacement associated with various street maintenance projects. Bidders are required to submit three professional references from current customers who can verify the quality of service provided by the bidding company. The City of Lubbock prefers references from customers of similar size and scope of work and explicitly prohibits the use of the City of Lubbock itself as a reference. For each reference, bidders must provide the company name, complete address, contact person with title, phone number, email address, a description of the similar project completed, and the year the project was executed.

The form establishes evaluation criteria based on demonstrated experience and customer satisfaction. By requiring references from comparable projects, the City aims to assess bidder capability and reliability before contract award. The reference information will be used during the bid evaluation process to verify that prospective contractors possess the technical competence and track record necessary to successfully execute concrete replacement work on municipal streets. Bidders should ensure their references can speak to project quality, timeliness, and professionalism relevant to the scope of the City's concrete replacement initiative.
