Attachment_D_References.docx

This is an attachment template for references that the City of Minneapolis requires bidders to submit as part of their proposal response for consulting firm selection to provide role players and actors services. The attachment requests bidders to provide information for up to five client references, with each reference entry requiring the client organization name, contact person details including name and telephone number and email address, a description of the project scope, a summary of services provided, the total project cost with designation of whether costs are actual or estimated, and the sector classification of the client organization such as private, public, or non-profit.

The references template serves as a qualification and experience verification tool that allows the City of Minneapolis to evaluate the bidding firm's relevant past performance and client relationships across various sectors and project types. By requiring detailed reference information including contact details, project scope descriptions, service summaries, and cost data, the city can conduct reference checks with previous clients to assess bidder capability, reliability, and experience delivering similar consulting and talent services. The template structure enables comparative evaluation of bidder experience across multiple projects and client sectors relevant to the role player and actor services being procured.
