Attachment 4 - Bidders Reference Template.doc

This is a Bidders Reference Sheet template for the Landers Library Renovation project, a construction services Request for Proposal issued by the State of Maryland. The document requires bidders to submit a minimum of three (3) project references from work completed within the last five (5) years that are of similar size and scope to the proposed project. Failure to provide the required references may result in a bidder being declared non-responsive and disqualified from consideration. The template requests bidders to document each reference with specific information including the contract number, contract duration with start and end dates, a complete description of services provided, the total dollar value of the contract, and comprehensive point of contact information for the client including name, address, telephone, facsimile number, and email address.

This template serves as a critical evaluation tool for assessing bidder qualifications and experience. The requirement for three references within a five-year period establishes a baseline threshold for demonstrating relevant project management capability and successful performance on comparable work. The emphasis on detailed point of contact information indicates that the contracting agency intends to conduct direct verification of bidder references to validate claims of prior experience and performance quality.
