9-EXHIBIT G References.pdf

Exhibit G is a references form for RFP 2026-03 issued by the Town of Fairfield, Connecticut for consulting engineering services related to the McKinley Elementary School Safe Routes to School Project. The form requires prospective firms to provide a minimum of three references from companies or agencies that contracted with the offeror within the last five years for similar work. Each reference entry must include the company name, address, point of contact information, telephone number, email address, contract or project name, project description, contract amount, and year of work completion or contract term. The form also accommodates up to five total references and includes a separate section for subcontractor references, requiring at least three references per subcontractor that will be utilized under the contract. Firms are instructed to attach additional sheets as necessary if multiple subcontractors will be employed.

The references submission requirement is a standard qualification-based evaluation component for this engineering services procurement. Bidders must demonstrate relevant experience through documented client relationships and successfully completed projects of comparable scope and complexity. The form itself contains no pricing information, fee structures, or cost-related requirements, as the RFP explicitly prohibits the inclusion of fees, costs, or hourly rates in qualification submissions, with any such inclusions resulting in automatic disqualification. This references exhibit serves as a mechanism for the Town to assess the offeror's past performance record and capacity to execute the sidewalk improvement project funded through the Federal Carbon Reduction Program.
