Exhibit D - Reference Information.doc

This is an Exhibit D Reference Information form for IFB1 2015000105, a state contract opportunity related to press equipment procurement. Bidders are required to provide at least two references, with space for up to three references, demonstrating that companies have successfully used the proposed press engine in a production capacity for a minimum of six months. For each reference, bidders must supply the organization name, address, two points of contact with phone numbers and email addresses, a detailed description of the projects completed, the system or solution provided, installation location and year, the type of application or industry served, and confirmation of the client's willingness to provide feedback to the State.

The reference requirement is designed to validate bidder experience and capability with the specific press engine technology being procured. This documentation allows the State to conduct due diligence by directly contacting previous clients to assess system performance, reliability, and satisfaction. The form ensures consistency in reference information collection across all bidders and establishes a mechanism for the State to gather independent verification of claims made in bid proposals regarding the proposed equipment's operational history and effectiveness in similar applications.
