ATTACHMENT 05 Contractor References.docx

This is a Contractor References attachment for the Hawaii Tourism Authority's RFP 27-20 Sports Strategy Study Green Fee Project. The document serves as a template requiring offerors to provide at least three professional references demonstrating prior experience as a prime contractor on similar projects. For each reference, offerors must supply the client organization's name and address, project name and dates, a primary contact with title, email and phone number, and a detailed description of the scope of services provided. The attachment also includes space for provider information and a solicitation reference number at the top of the form, along with a section for additional comments.

This reference form is a standard evaluation tool used by the Hawaii Tourism Authority to assess contractor qualifications and experience relevant to conducting a comprehensive statewide sports tourism study. The references submitted will help the agency verify the offeror's capability to deliver data-driven insights, economic analysis, and a final strategic report on sports tourism opportunities and recommendations scheduled for completion by March 31, 2027. Offerors must demonstrate comparable experience working with government agencies or organizations on similar research, analysis, and strategic planning projects to be considered qualified for this engagement.
