7-F. Bonfire References Form.pdf

This document is a References form from a city procurement process, designed for companies to provide client references when submitting a bid or proposal. The form allows bidders to document three separate client references, with each reference section requiring detailed information including the name of the client, main phone number, address, primary contact, contact details, service dates, a summary and scope of the project, contract value, and number of client employees. The City has expressed a preference for references from organizations of similar size or where the company has performed similar services, but notes that if such references are not available, individuals or companies that can speak to the company's performance are considered adequate.

The form is a standardized template intended to help evaluators assess a company's past performance, track record, and experience. By requiring multiple references with comprehensive details, the city aims to gather sufficient information to validate a bidder's capabilities, project experience, and professional reputation. The open-ended nature of the fields, particularly the "Summary & Scope of Project" section, allows bidders to provide context and highlight the relevance of their previous work to the current procurement opportunity.
