RFS Attachment 5 - References

This file is the References form (RFS Attachment 5) for the County of Los Angeles, Executive Office of the Board of Supervisors, Chief Sustainability Office's Request for Services solicitation for policy and research services. The form serves as part of the submission requirements for vendors seeking to qualify for a Consulting and Professional Services Master Agreement (CAPSMA) to support the 2025 OurCounty Plan initiatives. Vendors must submit responses to both the concurrent Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and Request for Services (RFS) to be considered for the master agreement. The References form is one of three RFS-specific attachments required, along with the Response Cover Sheet (Attachment 3) and Staffing and Pricing Schedule (Attachment 6), in addition to the eight exhibits required for the RFQ submission.

The specific content and formatting requirements of the References form establish the framework for vendors to demonstrate their qualifications and past performance through documented client references. This attachment is a critical component of the vendor evaluation process, allowing the County to assess the contractor's experience and track record in delivering policy and research services. No specific pricing, set-asides, or contract term details are contained within this reference form itself, as these elements are addressed separately in other submission documents and the master agreement terms.
