RFP_Attachment_C_Reference_Check_Form_Not Scored~3.docx

This is a Reference Check Form attachment for the Business Finance Modernization Consultant RFP (S-12300-00016372) issued by Business Oregon. The form serves as a standardized template for proposers to provide contact information for up to three reference entities that can speak to their qualifications and experience. The reference check form requires proposers to supply the name of their firm, followed by details for each reference including the reference entity name, contact person name, telephone number, and email address. This document does not specify response dates, due dates, site visits, bidder meetings, award dates, or contract terms, as it is solely a reference verification tool to be completed and submitted as part of the proposal package.

The Reference Check Form contains no pricing information, set-asides, incumbent details, or funding requirements, as its purpose is strictly to facilitate the evaluation of proposer qualifications through third-party verification. The form was established on November 19, 2014, and is designated as version 1.0. The underlying RFP seeks consultant services to evaluate the effectiveness of Business Oregon's current lending programs and develop recommendations for modernizing those programs to better serve current business needs and support economic development.
