EXHIBIT C - Prospective Bidder References.pdf

This document is an Exhibit C from a Bare Rental Master Agreement for the State of California, detailing prospective bidder reference requirements. The exhibit establishes standards for bidders to demonstrate their qualifications and experience in providing bare rental equipment and services. Bidders are required to provide references from previous clients who can verify their capability to perform similar services, equipment quality, delivery reliability, and customer service standards. The references serve as validation of the bidder's operational history, financial stability, and ability to meet the state's requirements under the master agreement. The reference submission is a mandatory component of the bidding process and must be completed according to the specifications outlined in the master agreement's general provisions.

The reference requirements specify that bidders must provide contact information for a minimum number of recent clients (typically within the past three to five years) who have utilized similar bare rental services. References must represent organizations of comparable size and scope to the State of California to demonstrate relevant experience. The state reserves the right to contact references directly to verify claims regarding equipment condition, service responsiveness, pricing competitiveness, and overall satisfaction. Failure to provide adequate or verifiable references may result in bid rejection or scoring deductions, depending on the evaluation methodology established in the master agreement solicitation documents.
