This is a Reference Check Form attachment for RFP S-12300-00016768 issued by the State of Oregon's Business Development Department on behalf of the Oregon Cultural Trust. The form is designed to be completed by proposers submitting bids for a Strategic Communications & Marketing Contractor position. The RFP seeks a contractor to support the Trust's communications efforts surrounding its 25th anniversary celebration, fundraising initiatives, and efforts to promote arts, culture, heritage, and humanities throughout Oregon. The reference form requests proposers to provide three professional references, with each reference including the entity name, contact person name, telephone number, and email address.

The Reference Check Form serves as a standardized evaluation tool to verify the qualifications and performance history of bidding contractors through third-party validation. No specific pricing terms, set-asides, contract duration, or renewal options are detailed in this attachment. The form itself is a procedural document intended to facilitate the vetting process during proposal evaluation and does not contain substantive information regarding compensation, funding sources, or contract specifications beyond the reference verification requirements.
