ATTACHMENT 05 Contractor References.docx

This is a Contractor References form required as an attachment to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) for RFP 27-13 Capitol Historic District Urban Trail Walking Tour. The form mandates that offerors provide a minimum of three (3) professional references demonstrating prior experience as a Prime Contractor on similar projects. For each reference, offerors must document the client organization name and address, specific project name, project start and end dates, primary contact information including name, title, email, and phone number, and a detailed description of the scope of services rendered. The form requires offerors to identify themselves as the service provider and reference the solicitation number, with space provided for additional comments to support their qualifications and experience.

The references must reflect work substantially similar in nature to the planned cultural corridor experience for the Capitol Historic District Urban Trail Walking Tour, which encompasses content creation, user experience design, QR code system development, and coordination with third-party platform providers. This reference requirement serves as a qualification and evaluation mechanism to assess the offeror's capability, experience, and track record in delivering comparable complex projects involving digital platforms, cultural content, and visitor experience design prior to contract award.
