9-Reference Form.pdf

This is a Professional Reference Form used by the Town of Palm Beach, Florida, to evaluate bidder qualifications for a moving services contract. Bidders are required to provide at least five current professional references from work completed within the last three years. For each reference, bidders must submit the name and address of the firm, city, county, or agency; the scope of work performed; project dates; contract amount; and contact information including name, telephone number, and email address. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams, with attendance strongly encouraged as the only forum for direct clarification from the Contract Coordinator and Town staff. The Town will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and all work must be performed by direct employees of the successful vendor with no subcontracting permitted without written approval. Failure to furnish the required reference information may result in rejection of the proposal.

The form includes spaces for the Town to document verification comments for each reference, with checkboxes to indicate whether references were verified. Bidders must provide details on the financial stability and experience of their firm through these professional references. The reference verification section is designated "For Town Use Only" and will be completed during the Town's evaluation process. No pricing information, set-asides, or funding sources are specified in this reference form document.
