7-F. Bonfire References Form.pdf

This document is a References Form template for a city contract opportunity, designed to capture client reference information from prospective bidders. The form provides a structured format for companies to document three separate client references, with fields for client name, main phone number, address, primary contact details, service dates, project summary and scope, contract value, and number of client employees. The city indicates a preference for references from organizations of similar size or with comparable service profiles, but notes that alternative references from individuals or companies familiar with the bidder's performance are acceptable if preferred references are unavailable.

The template is clearly intended to help the evaluating city agency assess a bidder's past performance, experience, and reliability by collecting detailed information about previous projects and client interactions. While no specific pricing, funding, or contract details are present in this document, the reference form suggests a comprehensive vetting process that allows the city to validate a bidder's qualifications and track record before making a contract award. The multi-reference approach enables a thorough examination of the bidder's professional capabilities across different client engagements.
