This is a References Template document for the City of Amarillo's Airport Baggage Handling Upgrade project at Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport in Amarillo, Texas. Bidders responding to this solicitation are required to provide references from three governmental agencies or regional districts that have received similar services. Each reference entry must include the agency name, street address, city, state, zip code, contact person name and title, email address, telephone number, a description of services provided, and the date of service. The template provides three standardized reference sections formatted identically to ensure consistent information collection from prospective vendors.

The references requirement is designed to enable the City of Amarillo to evaluate bidder qualifications and track records on comparable projects. Bidders must demonstrate their experience with similar baggage handling system work for government entities, allowing the city to assess capability and performance history. The Best Value Bid evaluation approach indicates that award will be based on the bidder's ability to provide the most advantageous combination of quality, cost, and performance rather than price alone. This reference documentation serves as a critical component of the overall bid evaluation process and bidders' proposals.
