8-EXHIBIT E References.pdf

This is an exhibit form for references required in response to RFP 2026-12, issued by the Town of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, for Fire Protection Inspection, Testing, Maintenance, and Emergency Services. The exhibit establishes the reference submission requirements for contractors bidding on the solicitation. Prospective offerors must provide a minimum of three references from companies or agencies with whom they have contracted within the last three years for similar work. The form allows for submission of up to five references, with each reference entry requiring the company name, address, point of contact information including telephone number and email, contract or project title, detailed description of the work performed, contract or project amount, and the year work was completed or the contract term.

The reference requirements serve as a qualification and evaluation mechanism for assessing contractor experience and past performance. All references must be from work performed within the preceding three-year period to ensure relevance and currency of the contractor's capabilities in fire protection services. Bidders must complete the exhibit form in its entirety for each reference provided, furnishing comprehensive contact and project details to enable the Town to conduct reference checks and verify the contractor's ability to successfully execute fire protection inspection, testing, maintenance, repair, and certification services for fire sprinkler backflow preventers, fire suppression systems, and portable fire extinguishers at Town facilities.
