8-Reference Form.pdf

This is a Professional Reference Form from the Town of Palm Beach, Florida, required for competitive bidding on Tree Trimming & Pruning Services throughout the Town of Palm Beach. Bidders must submit at least five professional references from work completed within the last three years to substantiate their qualifications, financial stability, and relevant experience. The Town will use these references to verify a contractor's capability to perform tree trimming and pruning services in accordance with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI Z133-2017) and Palm Beach County Landscape Code 500-35, Number Four. The solicitation employs a competitive bidding process with award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled to allow bidders to seek clarification from the Contract Coordinator and Town staff regarding project requirements and scope.

Each reference entry must include the name and address of the firm, city, county, or agency; the scope of work performed; dates of service; project amount; contact information including telephone number and email; and space for Town verification comments. Failure to provide the required reference information may result in rejection of the proposal. The form includes five reference slots, each with a verification checkbox for Town use, allowing municipal staff to confirm bidder experience and capability prior to contract award. All necessary materials, labor, management, supervision, equipment, and safety provisions are the responsibility of the awarded contractor, with invoicing based on actual quantities completed rather than estimated quantities.
