Attachment_D_References.docx

This is an attachment document for a state or local contract opportunity that requests bidders to provide professional references demonstrating their qualifications and experience. The document requires vendors to submit information for up to five client references in a structured table format. Each reference must include the client organization name, a designated contact person with telephone number and email address, a description of the project scope, a summary of services provided, and the total project cost with clarification on whether the amount represents actual or estimated delivery costs. Additionally, bidders must identify the sector in which each client operates, such as private, public, or non-profit organizations.

The reference attachment serves as a mechanism for evaluating a vendor's past performance, relevant experience, and capability to successfully execute similar work. This submission requirement allows the contracting agency to verify the bidder's track record by contacting previous clients and confirming the quality and scope of work performed. The format standardizes the information collected across all bidders, enabling consistent evaluation of vendor qualifications and experience in relevant sectors.
