Attachment_F_References.docx

This is a References attachment document for the Minneapolis Convention Center (MCC) Security Services Request for Proposal issued by the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The document establishes requirements for proposing organizations to provide references demonstrating their qualifications and experience in security services operations. Bidders are required to submit a minimum of three professional references from clients for whom they have provided security services within the past five years, with preference given to references from similar facility types or comparable operational scales. Each reference must include the client organization name, contact person, title, phone number, email address, and a description of the security services provided, including the duration of the contract and approximate facility size or scope. The references should demonstrate the proposer's capability to manage security operations effectively, handle staffing requirements, implement security protocols, and maintain client satisfaction in facility management environments.

The submission of references serves as a critical evaluation criterion for assessing bidder capability and past performance. References must be from clients who can speak directly to the proposing organization's experience with security service delivery, personnel management, equipment deployment, and problem resolution in operational settings comparable to the MCC. The City reserves the right to contact references independently to verify claims and assess the quality of prior work. Proposers should ensure that submitted references are current, accessible, and willing to discuss their experience with the organization's security services in detail.
