BIDDER_REFERENCES.pdf

This document is a Bidder References form from the City of Lompoc, designed to be completed by potential contractors or vendors submitting a proposal. The form requires bidders to list and describe the three most recent contracts that demonstrate their ability to provide supplies, equipment, or services relevant to the proposed contract specifications. For each reference, the bidder must provide details including customer name, address, contact individual, phone number, email, contract amount, year, and a description of the supplies, equipment, or services provided. The City reserves the right to contact these references to verify the bidder's qualifications.

The form is a standard template for evaluating a vendor's past performance and capability, allowing the City of Lompoc to assess the bidder's experience and track record before awarding a contract. By requiring detailed information about previous contracts, the city can make a more informed decision about the bidder's suitability for the current project. The references serve as a method of due diligence, helping to mitigate risk and ensure that the selected vendor has the necessary expertise and proven performance history to successfully complete the proposed work.
