BIDDER_REFERENCES.pdf

This document is a Bidder References form from the City of Lompoc, designed for prospective vendors to provide details about their previous contract work. The form requires bidders to list three reference contracts that demonstrate their capability to provide supplies, equipment, or services relevant to the proposal specifications. For each reference, the bidder must complete sections including customer name, address, contact individual, email, phone number, 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 that allows the City of Lompoc to assess a vendor's past performance, experience, and competence prior to awarding a contract. By requiring detailed information about previous contracts, the city can evaluate the bidder's track record, scope of work, and ability to successfully complete similar projects. The references serve as a crucial component of the bid evaluation process, providing additional context and validation beyond the information contained in the initial proposal.
